I'm trying to share a Drive on my laptop (Win11 Home) through my Network so my desktop (Win 11 Pro) can rename files and do some file management on it. Both are on the same network and what I've done so far is mess around with settings to the point where I can see the other device in the Network tab (but not the drive though!) in Windows Explorer, but once I click on it, a Windows Security pop up appears telling me to Enter Network Credentials asking for a username and password, which I have no idea what to put there. Both are on 2H12.
Some more context and info on what I've done so far:
I right-clicked on the Drive went to properties, clicked on Security, and selected the Group "Everyone" and every permission except for "Special Permissions" is checked under "Permissions for Everyone." Then I clicked on the Sharing tab also in Properties, clicked on "Advanced Sharing" checked the box that says Share this Folder, then clicked OK. There's a section under that titled Password Protection which links to "Network and Sharing Center." I clicked that link and it brings me up to a Windows 11 menu titled "Advanced sharing settings" where I turned on pretty much everything under the private networks tab (which is what my Ethernet connection is configured to). This means "Network discovery" is turned on, "Set up connected devices automatically" is checked, and "File and printing sharing" is also set to on.
Then also under the "Advanced sharing settings" is a section labeled "All networks." I turn "public folder sharing on", didn't touch the File sharing connections options (left it at 128-bit encryption), and then selected "Password protected sharing" to be off. That's pretty much all the options in "Advanced sharing settings," so I exit out, restart the laptop. When I turn it back on, I go to my desktop, I can see the name of the laptop under the Networks tab in File Explorer, but when I click on it I get the enter network credentials pop up. There's really no other setting that I can think of left to touch, so let me know if I'm missing anything.
