CBers 6766 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Have you done the 8.1 update as well? You should have wait for W10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonmcroy 315 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I had the same original thought when I first upgraded to Windows 8! Adding in the 8.1 update helps a lot - at least you get the automatic desktop view back! Now that I am accustomed to moving around the interface I like the way the OS runs in general. It seems faster to me overall. I was sad to lose the start button, but it's a trade off if you want Windows 8. Like CBers mentioned above, I now can't wait for Windows 10 to be released! -Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3745 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Did the free update to 8.1. Thanks guys! I feel much better now I can see the desktop again. I just want to build apps for Xbox and windows, it was nessessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3745 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Damn it! All the sharing permissions are completely f'd up. I was finally able to see the shared file system from my win 7 machine, but can not access any of the bloody files. It keeps asking for permissions from admins on my win 8 machine. Problem is that all the privileges have been set to share with everyone on the network from the win 7 machine. This is gonna be a headache I can already feel it.

wraslor 70 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Do you have them in the same homegroup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3745 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 I finally got it figured out. It took some getting use to. Now I will develop win store apps! I have a couple ideas in mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deihmos 147 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I love Windows 8. I am not sure what is confusing about it. WMC is much faster and has less bugs on it plus the OS uses les ram and is much snappier than Win 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_slayer 103 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I also like "8" (run an 8.1 server) I find it snappy and like the improved copy/paste screen. I never upgrade, always clean install (with upgrade licenses ) however I didn't notice any specific issue with shares. I have had an issue in w7/w8/w8.1 where I couldn't easily share an entire drive (with the exception of the virtual drive flexraid creates) I didn't like it as much before the 8.1 upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark_slayer 103 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Minor detail, but it's one less third party tool to run Just like native iso mounting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianW 1052 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 From this To this Oh. I was thought you were talking text copy/paste. Not, moving files. I still prefer Teracopy over the built in windows dialog. Teracopy performs sensible queuing of multiple copy jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3745 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Guys I am having major problems! Maybe one of you guys can help me. My server is still running Windows seven. All my drives are shared to the network. On my new win 8 install I can not access the drives. There are permission issues. I tried un-sharing and re-sharing but no go. I enabled the home group but no go. What do you guys think the problem might be. @@AdrianW @@wraslor @@Deihmos Edited February 1, 2015 by chef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee 204 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Try adding share with "everyone" in the permissions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3745 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Try adding share with "everyone" in the permissions I tried that. Funny thing is that any sub folder in my drives on my win seven machine is now showing an error: "this folder can not be shared". I thought it was my win 8 install but now I am thinking it is the win seven machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianW 1052 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 This may not be your problem - but it's worth knowing about. You can configure Windows credentials on your Win8 machine so it remembers username/password information for connecting to other machines on your network. Have a read of this: Working with Windows 8.1's Credential Manager Also on your Win7 machine it's possible that you've lost ownership of the folders you're trying to share - read this: Take Ownership of a File or Folder The problem may also have something to do with password protected sharing - this may help: Password Protected Sharing - Turn On or Off in Windows 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
