No, I am not into gaming so not a problem for me. Any issues with security since WIn7 does not receive any updates from microsoft?

This seems to be the right way but with some issues. Thanks

I should also mention that I have changed the name of the default workgroup in both PCs

Actually I have the opposite problem. I can see the user from the server but not the local account on the client PC I'll summarise the setup cause, coincidentally, I noticed something else just now. I have the server pc and the clients connected on a router. Then I have ZeroTier running that...

I have posted the issue I am facing with the permissions here https://hardforum.com/threads/the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified.2034916/

I completely forgot about this option. Thanks

No, i do not have crazy needs. I am the only person accessing the files. I still have Win Server and I know all about permissions but in this case I can not make them work correctly. This is the problem I am facing https://hardforum.com/threads/the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified.2034916/

Linux is a mess. You need to spend time learning how to configure it. BTW, would it work with WIndows 10 on a client PC? I haven't ever tried FreeBSD

what's tiny11? a slim down win 11 version?

Yes, now I have server 2022 but there is a mess with permissions and I can't figure out how to resolve it. BTW, the machine works very well with 2022 but the permission thing drives me nuts

Hi, I am fed up with the rubbish on Win11 and (less) on Win10 especially with telemetry and broken windoes images. So, I am really considering installing Win 7 on a PC I use as a file server. I know Win 7 does not receive any security updated but I was wondering if a good antivirus with...

Hi, My setup has a PC that I use as a file server (running Windows Server 2022), a client PC (running Windows 10) and ZeroTier to create a private VPN. I have shared three drives on the server and mapped them onto the client using the IP that ZeroTier produces. I do not use Active directory...

No, i haven't actually.How am I going to access the VMs directly? Should be via RDC? I may have the same problem

AMD Ryzen 5 5500U The setup in on wired gigabit lan (except when I log in from outside of home).

I wouldn't say it is a server machine in terms of specs. It is a mini PC (AMD, 16GB mem, 2TB SSD) that I use as a file server. I will do the system health check as you propose. It may help. SMART shows very good health on all drives. The PC is new; probably 4-5 months old. Haven't tried a...
