Windows 10: Home network problem since upgrading to W10

So I had two old computers at home, one running Windows 7 and another WIndows 10. They were set up so that that W10 machine could access the drives on the W7 one, via "Map network drive". All worked fine... But the time came when I had to upgrade the OS on the W7 machien to W10, which I duly did - an upgrade, not a clean install.And now, I simply cannot get the other W10 machine to see its drives any more. When I try to map a network drive I get a message saying it's not accessible. I have been over and over all the settings, and everything is set as it should be and just as it was bef

W10 upgrade problems

Hello I have tried the network adapter trouble shooter and got no problems. The other article you suggested refers to W8 and I am running W7 SP1. Anything else you can suggest? I am not going to try to upgrade again till I get a solution as with no
internet access I cannot look for help and neither could I check for W10 updates which may be able to help. thanks Terry

 

I'm online from my wifi laptop but can't connect to my home network

Nope, I've tried all the steps of all the fixes listed by Dalchina and Try3 but the problem still exists. The W10 laptop refuses to access my main W7 pc (named CG16) on my home network, although it can 'see' it, ie, it shows CG16 in the network list. The only thing I haven't tried is Dalchina's suggestion about creating a shortcut, mainly because I'm not sure where this shortcut is supposed to be. I'm assuming it has to be on the W10 laptop but I don't understand how it could work. More info please, Dalchina, if you'd be so kind. Daymin, sorry: I have no idea what you're trying to say.
