Hi,

So back in my day you would right click a folder, hit share and voila. My other computer can see the other folder. But now it seems so fucking complex that i don't even understand how it works.

Basicly i have a W7 computer. Shared the folder. Open my W10, i see the folder. It asks for credentials (ok why not) and then if i double click the folder it says i don't have the access... After i typed the admin credentials of the other computer... Does not makes sense. Everyone as full access so... i don't know.

Tried to do it the other way around but it asks for credentials... And i only have a microsoft account on W10 and the credentials don't work (i believe it's the local one but i don't even have an account)...

How do i do this ? because right now the fastest way to share folders is... Usb stick

Why do the streams stutter slightly when I try to watch two 1080p twitch stream at once. Even one in 1080 and one in 720 is fine. I doubt it's not a bandwidth issue since I get dl speeds up to 25 MB/s. Is it just my processor being too slow? (But it's a stream so why does it take CPU power? Decoding?)

Streams take quite a bit of CPU, because the data being sent is optimized for minimum use of bandwidth. This means that it takes processing power to bring it from a watchable thing (every pixel defined) to that minimum bandwidth format at the streamers end (which is why you need a much more powerful PC to stream something compared to just playing it), and it once again takes processing power to calculate what every pixel looks like from that format on your end.

However, i think it could also be the case that the thing actually getting you into problems might be your RAM. Video and buffering thereof takes a lot of ram.

I see. I guess my follow-up is to ask if the windows resource monitor is accurate at all. Because I have 8 GB RAM but it only shows 3.5 GB used even when watching the two 1080p streams. It also shows CPU usage at only 20% or less!

It doesn't lie to you. You might want to look at something more detailed with regards to CPU, because if 20% of your CPU is used, it could mean that one core is at 100%. You can rightclick the graph in the task manager to have it display "logical processors, which means that you get one graph for each half-core.

Maybe viewing streams is bad at multithreading (I have no idea about this)?

I used to have similar problems and mostly just attributed it to browser-based viewing being terrible. I ultimately switched to Streamlink to resolve those issues.
