Other machines on home network can't see the Win10 machine

Friend was inadvertently switched up to Windows 10 on her desktop

sharing between this machine and other machines (linux, tablets,

problem. She did not set it to "Home" network (sharing only with other
win10 machines). She needs to transfer terabytes of photos to/from this
machine, making sneakernet NOT an option.

Other machines can see the existence of this machine, but can't see its
contents.

This should be easy, right? It was with her previous win7 installation
on that machine. What do we need to do?

The question is vague.

I don't know how to make it any more specific. The problem is
transferring files from her netbook to her win10 desktop, which was easy
with win7, requiring only that a subdirectory called c:\Shared (or
whatever) be shared with "everyone" with the password. I can do that to
move files to/from my windows machine USING my linux machine. The
win7machine doesn't know about the linux machine, and that's the way I
want it.

I use linux, but I also have a win7 machine for things that don't work
with linux -- tax software, Garmin express and my Canon scanner.
Sharing is trivial with Win7, but NOT with win10, which is the problem.

I had a sharing problem with win7 that was fixed by this.
Had to do with increased security protocol. Can't tell if
this will help, but might be worth a look.

Open Registry Editor, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Lsa\

Create LMCompatibilityLevel (DWord) and set the value to 1

Is this a win7 or win10 solution? I stopped being comfy editing the
registry when I switched from win95 to win2K, and I really don't want to
screw up my friend's machine.
