read the FAQ (again?)
Shares (aka Mapped drives) are right there with NAS with issues.

Quote:
Do not put your calibre library on a networked drive.
A filesystem is a complex beast. Most network filesystems lack various filesystem features that calibre uses. Some don’t support file locking, some don’t support hardlinking, some are just flaky. Additionally, calibre is a single user application, if you accidentally run two copies of calibre on the same networked library, bad things will happen. Finally, different OSes impose different limitations on filesystems, so if you share your networked drive across OSes, once again, bad things will happen.

I have read the FAQs (again)
I thought that since Win10 was the OS on both (and I didn't consider it a network system [possibly wrongly]) the PC2 attached drive mapped to PC1 wouldn't be an issue. Since I only use Calibre from PC1 and no one uses it on PC2, I thought it might be OK.
Since I use Robocopy to make a backup from PC1 C: to external HDs, it's not going to be a problem not doing what I thought I might not want to not do
As an aside, "mapped" is not in the FAQ
