    cant share any files except public


    Our drive crashed.
    So setup another PC running win10
    That PC can not accept another sata drive, not enough power plugs.
    So I put the crashed drive in a windows 7 pc.
    booted, chkdisk fixed tons of errors.
    Disk is now accessible, user files can opened.

    I WANT to copy the user files from the formerly crashed drive to the new win10 PC across my home network.
    I CANT.
    I managed to create a share.
    The win10 PC sees the share, but when opened says I dont have permission.

    So I go back to the share and set to EVERYONE, wilt full read write, it still refuses to allow the share.

    I then tried to enter a homegroup, using the right password, homegroup says encountered an error.

    Seems dumb, but, I was reading you have to click security tab add 'everyone' , then give 'everyone' full control?
    Will that work?

    ok, that worked.
    What is the problem with homegroup?
    I have 3 windows pc on the network. One has created a homegroup on the network.
    What use is a homegroup anyway? Why is it a problem?
