Hi,

I've got a ubuntu machine on which I do lots of different things. It's the machine I use most.

I've also got a windows machine (Windows 10 Pro) which I need for printing
and using certain software.

I'm having trouble getting access to files on the windows machine from the ubuntu machine so I've been using a pendrive to transfer files.

When I was using windows 7, it used to show up under Other Locations on this machine. I didn't have to learn anything to get access to the files on it and this saved a lot of trouble. Things aren't so easy this time with windows 10.
Both machines are plugged into the same router (modem).

Does anyone know what I need to do?
