Thanks for the advice. Now I know I have a V1 RND2000 instead of a V2 i was able to reinstall the correct firmware and get back onto it, so I am back up and running. The SMB v1 issue is a bit of a pain as it is not installed with Windows 10 and is a bit of a security risk. I had only installed it on 1 PC to get access to the NAS. I assume the only way around it is to buy a newer NAS drive?

IMO the security risk isn't a big issue on a home network (though opinions on that vary). It's a bigger deal if the PC is also connected to an enterprise network (for instance connected to a VPN if you are working from home).
The only good solution is to get a newer NAS. You can re-purpose the Duo as a backup NAS (using rsync for backup, and disabling SMB altogether on the Duo).
