How do I connect to a NAS in Windows 10

Question

_{Wednesday, December 16, 2015 10:55 AM}

I have just installed a clean version of Windows 10 on a PC.

It can connect to the internet, it can connect to the homegroup in place, but it cannot get a response from the NAS.

The NAS can be seen by the other Windows 7 machines. It appears as a network computer but not in Windows 10.

It is in use as the File History folder set up by other machines for the Windows 10 machine.

I can ping it over the LAN from all the machines.

I can add a folder as a network location.

I can map a network drive/folder.

What am I doing wrong?

When I came to test your suggestion I had just had an further cumulative update. I do not know if this was a cure but the NAS is showing up in the Network Explorer. So problem  gone away rather than solved.

Can you browse to it by typing \name into the Address bar of an Explorer Network window?

Ninety-nine per cent of politicians give the rest a bad name!

Alan,

Can you tell me if you type 'winver' which version and build of Windows 10 you have?
