Windows 10 - Shared Folder

Anonymous

Me - a very seasoned IT veteran with 2 decades of PC experience in a company environment

Desktop

Windows 10

Yesterday cloned existing HDD to new SDD

All worked 100% (as I expect with a clone that i've done 100s of)

The problem -

A shared folder on this drive, that was working before the cloning, cannot be accessed.

I have removed the share and setup the share under Advanced sharing and still 3 other computers don't have access.

The error:

Windows cannot access \Station09-PC

You do not have permission to access \Station09-PC.

I can see all computers under Network.

I can use \Station09-PC and it pops up as found.

I have not tried using the IP address.

Network has file and printer sharing checked. Guest and Public are all good. Passwords are a No.

I checked the share and all permissions are set for Everyone.

Security has the Everyone item with all permissions set.

However, under Security, I do not see the Administrators item.

Thanks for any suggestions.

    -Hi, my name is Claudeir, I'm happy to help you!

    I understand that you have decades of experience, however, it is never advisable to do a system cloning, especially for an SSD, it requires a clean installation of the system so there is no risk of problems, I understand that you may have done this several times without having problems, but maybe I've done it before in HD, but on SSD, a clean installation is required, without cloning, so everything goes well. Not to mention that in the future, due to cloning, more serious problems may appear.

    I suggest you do a clean installation of the system:

    But, if you still don't think it's necessary, you can ask on Microsoft's Q&A site, we're just a community that deals with domestic issues, they have a lot of IT technicians ready to answer more advanced or corporate questions. :
