Hi
I have the ReadyNAS Duo V1 (Sparc). Since the Microsoft 2017 Fall Creator's Update for Win10, SMBv1 is obsolete and I can't see it anymore on my main Windows PC (although I can on a second, older machine). It needs to support SMBv2 or v3. I read that this can easily be done by adding the line:
Let's start here. If you go into "turn windows features on and off" you should see an option for the SMB1 client. So you can still re-enable that option.
If you see an NFS client in your windows system, you could alternatively install that, and then turn on NFS file sharing on the NAS. That might be a better long-range solution.
Enabling an ancient experimental mode in your duo v1's SAMBA is probably not a good approach.
The Duo has experimental SMB2 support which is disabled. It's beyond the security support period so I don't anticipate there being any further firmware updates for it at all.
If SMB2/SMB3 support is important to you you may wish to consider getting a new ReadyNAS.
