I have two PCs on my network, Upstairs-PC and Downstairs-PC. Both run Windows 11.
I recently had to reinstall Windows 11 on my downstairs PC.
Since then, even though I believe I have set up sharing as normal, when I try to access \\Downstairs-PC, it tells me my credentials are incorrect.
Both computers are logged into my Microsoft account.
I have tried entering my Microsoft email address as my username, as well as Downstairs-PC and .\Downstairs-PC.
For the password, I have tried both the system password and the password to my Microsoft account. Neither are working.
I have disabled the firewall on both systems, just in case.
Any ideas?
