    How to setup network for Windows 10 computer with XP computer?
    Spent morning trying to establish network permissions between W10 and XP computers.
    Before W10, I had XP Pro. Local network no problem. Full access both ways.
    Old drive from XP Pro machine is now secondary drive for W10, but no dual OS.
    Error window saying permissions are required pops up both ways, for both computers.
    How to resolve this issue which was not an issue with same/similar OS?

    If you added an xp drive to the windows 10 comp you may first have to take ownership of the files on it before it can be shared successfully.
