Thank you.

I went to where you suggested but no help there .the Windows 10 laptop is part of the home network and resides 3 feet away from the desktop. I could not find anything on the site you suggested .

What I need is info on where I should go on my desktop to give the appropriate permissions  ...and also the same for my Windows 10 laptop.

What does the msg I mentioned before mean ...in layman terms. I am afraid that the new Windows 10 help function is so convoluted and hard to negotiate

Regards

Brian
