2. From the turn Windows Features on or off Window, expand "SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support" and then check the box next to "SMB 1.0/CIFS Client"

4. Run File Explorer, right click "Network", select "Map network drive..." again. Input \\192.168.01\ at Folder column, check "Connect using different
credentials", then click "Browse…" button.
