If only, there are far too many settings which need to be checked
such as needing TCP/IP6 turned on (even if you aren't using it),
setting up file sharing and using the same credentials for all
connected devices before you can be sure windows10 machines will
even talk to each other never mind Android or Samba servers.


If the file is free to access for everyone, Android does not need the
user credentials, as far as I remember.


Android? I turn on my Nexus machine and of course it can connect to
the router wifi - is that your idea of interworking? It's pretty
limited, I can download/upload files using an app but that's not the
same as the picture viewer offering to search the LAN for images to
display. And working with files is working against the Android
system which likes to keep such things hidden. In my daughter's
Apple network, things like that 'just work'.
