Network access from Win 10 to Ubuntu

[NWI]

Pulling my hair out here as just cant seem to find the right setting.
Home network with my old laptop running Win 7 being able to read and right to my Ubuntu based home theater PC - a HP Proliant Microserver

Have now bought a new laptop running Win 10 and I cannot get it to write to the Ubuntu server. Reading is no problem.

Would appreciate a little guidance here as have tried everything I know.
My user on Win10 is admin - when I try change user rights it says I don''t have rights to do that, same message as when I try write to the Ubuntu server.

What was your username on the Win7 machine? And you say on Win10 it is admin.

Maybe you gave read permisions on Ubuntu to everyone, but only write permissions to your old username on Win7

The fact that you say you can read from Ubuntu, make me think look at permissions on Ubuntu

Ubuntu shouldn't care from which pc you log in with a specific user into a samba share. You should be able to write to the share with the same user you used for windows 7. Unless you specified allowed hosts by ip.
If you created a new user then you have to set the permissions accordingly.

Is Windows10 not appending its own configured domain on your login attempt, as this is what happened on my setup? If it does, when entering your username and password enter a backslash before your username to negate the domain. To check if you have set a domain configured for the share, on samba, you can also check currently configured settings for samba via the cli by entering "cat /etc/samba/smb.conf" into a terminal window, and checking the output of the file.

Thanks all for comments. Was as simple as reconfiguring the log in under win 10. The auto setup uses an email address as login so had to set up same user login as had on the win7 machine and voila.
