Hello,
I just acquired a second PC and I would like to network the two. Both are connected with the same Microsoft account. I am an administrator on both. On PC1, in the network section, I see PC1 but not PC2. On PC2, I see PC1. I also saw PC2, but there was nothing in it; the files (my documents, my images, etc.) are located in "This PC". I deleted PC2 from the network. But how can I network "this PC"?
Additionally, from PC2, when I try to open PC1, I am asked for a username and password, whereas before I removed PC2 from the network, I was not prompted for this.
I have already searched a lot and tried many things found on forums, but so far nothing works. Do you have any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Hi,
so you have the same user account on both, right?
with the same non-empty password.
have you shared a folder over the network?
try sharing a folder from each one instead of going through administrative shares.

Thank you, but that doesn't seem to solve my problem. I just created a folder on PC 1 that I shared with "everyone."
But from PC 2, how do I access it? I always get the username and password request when I try to access PC 1. And PC 2 does not appear on the network, neither on PC 1 nor on PC 2, so how do I access a shared folder? -
