some systems make it more complex than it needs to be, something you're

It took me about five minutes to set up file sharing between my Win7 and
Win 10 machines, over my home network. All I did was RTFM.

no need for an fm. click a box to enable and click another button to
browse.

meanwhile, it took eric the better part of a week, and i don't think he

you fix it for him?
