    Is the ethernet connected and working? ie do you have internet via the TC?

     

    Did you load the airport utility into the computer? That can help too as file sharing on apple networking is enabled via bonjour.

     

    In the end you should not need the airport utility .. it should work by simply typing the IP into the address bar of windows explorer.

     

    \\10.0.1.1 (replace with your actual TC IP address)

     

    If it does not work then I strongly recommend you use the computer that does work.. load all the files onto a standard NTFS formatted USB hard disk and plug that into the computer that is having issues. There are known and as yet not fixed issues between win10 and apple routers.. apparently apple have acknowledged the issues but as yet done nothing.. since win10 came out. Expect no help.

     

    Buy a more suitable PC storage device.
