How to Enable SMB2 or 3 on ReadyNAS NV+ v2 running RAIDiator 5.3.13
Is there any way of enabling or downloading SMB2 or higher to allow sharing in WIndows 10 ?

No. There might be a way to change the NAS setup using ssh, but I haven't seen that documented for the V2 - or heard that it is sticky (survives reboots). Note that the SMB2 support in the version of Samba used by the v2 was "experimental".
What you can do is
- enable the SMB 1.0/CIFS client on the Windows 10 PC
- Turn on NFS on the NAS and enable the NFS client in the PC (only possible with some versions on Windows 10).
Given the age of your NAS, you might also consider getting a new one that has SMB 3 support, and re-purposing your current NAS as a backup.

Thanks - ALSO Due to the age of the hard drives it might be a good idea to renew the system.
