Not my first rodeo with Network issues so was wondering if this forum has any instructional documents on local networking.
I have just moved to Win 11 from 10 and the issues are the same. If I try to "SEE" my laptop I am asked about credentials ( I have no idea what is required ) and trying to see the DESKTOP I see both drives but do not have PERMISSION to look into the drive. Drives have share turned on. My printer is on the network (wi-fi) and my Media player (cabled ) is on and I can see both 4Gig WD drives and get into them. The laptop is also WI-FI.
I just want to be able to get into the laptop and desktop. Never worked back with workgroups.
Any ideas, please?

- Building a new desktop on the horizon; this was definitely a budget build based on circumstances at the time.
