I have tried ES File Explorer as well as other file managers to access the shared drives/folders of the laptops, but I can't access despite using correct login and password.
The only thing I have found for my Windows 10 laptop and Andriod devices to connect together is Solid Files Explorer. It uses Samba 2.0 instead of 1.0 which my laptop refuses to use now it's updated past 1709. However you have to figure your profile username and use your password to it. There's a cmd command: "whoami" to find out your username of your Windows 10 profile. Without quotes of course.

If it's a lower version of Windows that supports samba 1.0 it's usually the firewall on the PC blocking it. On Comodo I have to remove all network zones reboot the Vista computer and then when it ask where I am choose home. This fixes that problem until next time.
