once in a while, one comes across a how-to video that shows one exactly how to do a certain thing. this is one of those videos. good job, sir! 10 out of 10.
Absolutely!!
Every now then, it's so rare these days lol
100%
about time someone cuts right to the answer instead of beating around the bush with advertising garbage and self promotion. This was very helpful. Thank you!
After reading multiple articles and spending a few hours this video showed me what I needed to do in a few minutes!
i know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the password. I appreciate any help you can give me.
@@milesclark5273 you need an email or phone number linked to your account that you can use to recover your account, if not you're pretty much fucked
This is exactly what I wanted to do: connect a Win7 machine to a Win10 machine. Your instructions were clear and effective. Both machines are now communicating as desired. Thank you!
I wrestled with this thing for months. Then, I gave up. Then, the need came again. Then, I found this video. Big ups, man. Appreciate.
You have no idea how long I've been trying to do this for, and how frustrated I've been at failing to set this up. You explained this so well, the steps were easy to follow, and you even explained some of the settings that I didn't know. And not to be weird, but your voice through the process was actually very soothing. I ran into a snag but was able to fix it on my own and finally now have local file sharing set up between two of my PCs on my home network. Thank you so much!
After years I finally got our computers networked. Excellent tutorial.
I second this :)
This helped me a lot, I've been searching two days for a way to find a reliable way to transfer data between my desktop PC and laptop and this video was exactly the solution that I needed. No third party software involved, that's the best part. Thanks!
This is the holy grail of tutorial video's! Scrolled through the comment section first and found it to good to be true. Boy was I wrong. You sir are doing god's work. I never in a million years would have been able to figure this out by myself.
I have been trying to get a homegroup network to work for YEARS like I used to be able to do 15 years ago and nothing has worked until now. Thank you so much for this video. EXTREMELY HELPFUL!!!
I'm not only liking this video because it helped me with my problem but because you sir, have one fine ass voice.
like women like you that are free to say what they feel. Live on!
@@rdprdputube what? Chill
I agree except for the voice. I have to call his voice stressless and great for learning. I understand your point.
OMG! Days and days of following other people's instructions and nothing worked (connecting a Win 10 and Win 7 at home) and finally you had the answer. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much, I have been racking my brain on this for the past 48 hours, you successfully taught me what I needed to know in under 15 min where other articles failed miserably, thank you again!!!
"GIVE ACCESS TO..." This is the "Golden Ticket"! Thank you so much for this. It has taken me far too long on my day off, to find this. All I wanted to do, was to transfer files from one PC to another and now, I can! Hurrah!
Thanks! Helped me a lot. 🙂
You are a very good teacher! Clear, comprehensive and concise. Very impressed how you made it look so easy. I appreciate you letting us know that if we got the password protect access checked we need to create the same user and PW on the guest PC. That solved my newbie issue. Thanks!
Two thumbs way up! This is exactly what I was looking for but couldn't find until now. Needed to transfer files from old laptop to my new one. One of the best step-by-step tutorials I have seen. You truly are the 'Windows 10 Guru'. Subscribed.
Thanks! My husband was feeling pretty frustrated trying to network our computers. This was very helpful!
Among tens of videos I watched this is the only video that worked out! Thanks Guru!
Lost my network connection after doing a Microsoft update (8/3/2020), and just couldn't get it to work. This video worked for me, the other videos I watched didn't help me, nor could I understand what language they were trying to speak. This video is easy to understand and done at good pace; not too slow, not too fast.
If I didn't have this video every time I wanted to share a new folder, I'd never figure it out in a million years. So many clicks and sub-menus, and options on both ends. Thanks!
Incredible and easy explanation...I am 70 and plenty understand your point...thank you
Excellent video - thanks so much for the help!!
THANK YOU!!! Finally, an easy-to-follow instructional video on how to navigate someone else's idea of "logic"!
Finally found a video to connect computer that was clearly explained and thorough. Well done .Thank you.
Your pace and voice are perfect! You saved me so much time. I wish I'd found your video before clicking on every radio button on my computers. Bless you!
Perfect! Thank you for going slow enough so I could do this at the same time; and for getting me through it on both computers. Wasted my time on multiple other videos and Google online searches.
Thank you for this tutorial. I love you didn't suggest random bloatware or one drive and went in depth step by step. I'm tired of misleading articles that always try to sell you a service or install bloatware.
Just finished setting up my NAS Backup drive with the help of this tutorial. Easy and accurate instructions. Thanks a lot!
Hours, Weeks, Months of tribulation...then I found your video...THANK YOU! and again ...THANK YOU!
after messing with desktop and new laptop for days I almost gave up. then I found this video !!!! Thank you so much. I am now sharing between the two !!!
RebeccaCartagena .....what a liar you are!
My god thanks so much sir! Trying to share an album review I wrote on notepad was driving me nuts! Would of given up if it wasnt for watching this, thanks!
Thank you for this video. I tried all day to get my old laptop and new one to link up, and it was only because I watched your step by step video that I saw the one set of options that I missed.
Absolutely brilliant. That's just how all tutorials should be made. Thanks.
This video alone just earned my subscription. Why can't microsoft just put this on their instructions page?
Because they have to push OneDrive even if you don't want it😂
Exactly what is required: a concise step-by-step guide to share your files across PC's in your home/office setting. A one in a million video for pure value! Thank you!
too quick on the comment I'm afraid - 2 windows 10 PC's, main one cabled and secondary one on wifi, but I still get the login prompt from the main black machine, and this machine doesn't show up on the secondary red PC. But at least it all seemed so logical!
I'm not sure why I found this so hard before? Once I watched your video it all seemed so clear. I wasn't using the "give access". Many thanks.
Thank you so much! Worked great for me! Allows me to still work on my main PC while not having to stay in my basement all day hahaha
You are an absolute Windows 10 Guru. This works perfectly. Thank you so much.
FINALLY! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Official windows 10 help didn't help one bit, no mention of what settings are important to actually be able to share folders on network.
Great job! I have searched for a long time (months) to help me grab files from my pc to my laptop. You walked me thru it so well. I'm very thankful! God bless you.
This video helped me impress my boss thank you!!!
This video was very detailed and helped solve the problems. I encountered the issue after doing the Microsoft updates. Reset everything from the router to the computer. Changing the setting based on this video is what did the trick. Thank you
I've been so frustrated with sharing! This video is great; really clear, good pace, easy to follow. It is way better than the websites that try explaining what to do. I have 2 Win10 machines so I just followed the first part of the video on each. This allowed me to map and then see each Documents folder from the other machine (first time this succeeded, thanks to the video). I did then have a problem (same as iVenom describes below) until I realised that one cannot share a virtual drive (I split C into C and use C for the OS and use E, which I names as "My Docs", for all my files) and then share E using the method you describe. AT this point, I got the same error that iVenom reports. I found that I had to change the name of my virtual E drive (to any other name, add a top level folder ONTO the virtual drive (E) that I named "My Docs" and then share it as the video describes. Everything worked perfectly, exactly as the video explains. So thanks Windows 10 guru, the video is excellent.
Windows 10 GURU you are a blessing in disguise... thank you!
Brilliant! Why, oh why, can't Microsoft explain this so it works? Thank you, Guru!
Tons of thanks to you, Windows10 Guru. Now I have the wife's new laptop setup to access the Documents folder on my desktop. Used to know how to do this stuff but I forgot it all! Your tutorial was detailed and perfect. Now, anyone know how the wife can access the folder on my desktop when she's traveling for work??
Excellent pedagogical approach, like we rarely find in TH-cam how-to videos. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I just spent 4 hours trying to find out how to do this. Finally found your video and was easy to follow and setup.
Thank you so much. I was trying to connect two devices over our office network... one operating on Windows 11 and the other on Windows 10. Your instructions are so clear, I was able to troubleshoot the challenges of two VERY different operating systems and make it happen!
This is just what I was looking for!
You saved me buying another external hard drive.
Thanks for your expertise!
This works great. Once you have changed both to private and turned all sharing on, all you need for the shortterm is the directory it gives you ie //computer-name/ and you can just type that in if the following steps are confusing. I have now finally been able to get a game from my one Pc to the other!
Many thanks for the clear instructions. Save me money from buying cable or downloading any apps. Easily done.
Thanks. It works for me.
Please notice sharing in public network could be unsafe. Instead, do this only in private network settings.
Thanks for posting this. You explained it very well. Typically when I try to follow along with other people's videos I just end up frustrated.
Thank you!!!!! ive been trying to get my gaming pc and editing pc to communicate so i can do thumbnails on my main pc and upload useing the editing rig without needing to use a flash drive or ssd, this was perfect! all the other attempted videos and guides were always always missing some sort of step to make it work, now it works! thank you!!!!
thank you so much, changing the network to private was all i needed to do since i knew the other processes and it still wasn't working. thank you again, very helpful
I had spent a long time to do it and fail. Finally your video had given a great help and success. Thank you very much....
Thank you. This was very helpful and you wasted no time discussing what I needed. Liked!
Credit where due: instructions were clear, concise, and accurate.
This tutorial is what Ive been looking for Im having dificulties to config network to pc's in my house.. this helped me thanks a lot.
It is absolutely fricking insane that Microsoft hasn't made this process easier. This is far, far too cryptic for 2020. Thank you for the excellent video, you're far more useful than that 100 billion dollar enterprise when it comes to actually using their stuff.
Best tutorial for file sharing Thanks
solved my problEM AFTER YEARS
Great, straight forward process described clearly with super demonstration. I followed your video and set this up without issue. Thanks and well done.
Excellent presentation. In less than 15 minutes, you clearly explained and demonstrated something that it took me days to try to figure out on my own a few months ago. Sorry I didn't find your video first.
Anyone searching for a great tutorial that explains everything that is stated in the tittle, this is the video!
If you had only shown how to map a Raspberry Pi to that shared folder, you would have answered all my questions in one spot. But this is a great video for the Windows side of the problem. Thanks for posting.
This is a great tutrial on what I find is a very problematic area
If I get sharing working on my small home network it always by luck
I will be taking some notes on this
Thankyou
Trying to learn CompTIA A+ on my own. Many tutorials leave out some interesting details or essential steps. You are easy to follow and clearly explain the why behind the how. donated and subscribed!
Thank you Theresa! I really appreciate your support! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you sir and God bless 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
One of the very best videos on the internet.
You are God sent🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much for your clear, comprehensive instructions. It took me a while to find your TH-cam video, but I am SO glad I did!
Bravo. We should be thanking you for providing such thorough explanation. I am forever grateful.
Thanks for this tutorial. I have struggled for years trying to get this correct on my network.
Wonderfully explained. I like that whether the internet network is working or wot, so long we are on the same network (WiFi), it works perfectly. No more unnecessary emails while in the same working enviroment. Great job sir.
thank you so much! this was extremely helpful and so easy to follow! I was able to connect my brand new built gaming PC to my old laptop so now I can get everything I have from that old laptop onto my new PC! awesome!
Best clear cut explanation on this complex subject on the internet.
This is the best video I've seen so far. It is so easy to understand.
Thanks great instruction I found my issue required one additional step
I had to disable VPN one time on both machines prior to sharing the folder
Then i could access the shared folders without requiring an account or password
And i could then reconnect my VPN and continue access to the folders
As my VPN and LAN share a network card perhaps there was some complication with my VPN tunnel set to Public with no file sharing and my LAN network card set to private with file sharing
So simple, yet so hard when you don't know how.. (Now I do..) Very Nice thanks..✔
Excellent lesson, everything worked to the "Tee". Glad to see TH-cam is placing ads on your vid! Good job. I subcribed as well.
Thank you this is what exactly Ive been looking for
You have great control over your words and style. liked it a lot. Best wishes to you
Excellent. Fixed my problem with one quick tutorial. This is something I haven't been able to wrap my head around for years.
Thank you so much. You are a real lifesaver. I was struggling a lot for the right setting to share my project folder in our company network and this video really helped me to understand what I was doing wrong. Thank you ✌
can't tell you how many times i've referenced this awesome video - Thanks man!
Very complete end-to-end explanation - thanks!! This fixed all of my problems!!
Thank you very very much!!! Guys like you make our lives easier! God bless you!!!
Your flow of thoughts is really smooth. The explanation is crystal clear! Thanks a lot.
Thank you this was perfect as im moving my steam library to my plex sever
Far out Man. Finally I have a mapped folder on my two pc's. You are a STAR.
Thanks so much! Watching you do this I finally got my laptop to link with my desktop
Works, thanks. Had to map my network drive after I finished applying settings to both computers, but after that it worked.
This video helped me solved my file sharing issues, Thanks mate.
Excellent teacher!!!
Thank you very much for such direct and specific instructions. This has helped me tremendously 💯💯💯
Amazing video. Thank you so much :)
This helped me to share a USB connected printer & to mapped a drive. Thank you.
Thank you for your detailed run through. It has saved me from a mental meltdown. I can now hare across all Pc's in my home. 👍
Brilliant! 5 Out Of 5 Thumbs Up 👍👍👍👍👍
Can't thank-you enough!!! This video was exactly what I needed!!!
