Uh-uh - Edge works for me with an IP address, but not with a machine name. That's the only instance I have of calibre server not working on Win 10. Other than that it works just the same under Win 10 as it did under Win 7. I cannot recall doing anything special to make it work in Win7 - other than deciding on the port numbers for each library.

• command files that start the servers
• windows shortcuts to chrome that I embed in Evernote **
• casual access to the servers via firefox using IP address

  another local machine on the same LAN segment (wired)
