His comments were as follows: First, he assumes that both her computers are running Win10. He would shut down all of her systems, including the router. Then, start the router first, and let it get all the way up. Next, start up the laptop and see if the network recognizes the drive. Then start up the desktop, and see if it recognizes it as well. His general advice was that, if you encounter a network problem, restart everything, including the router. Many people don't think about the router. Hope this helps. He and I are still running Win7, so we are not up to speed on Win10. If you have more questions, my son will be around a couple of more days.
