Ancient READYNAS want to download all files
Hi friends,
I have been carrying our READYNAS Duo around for a decade now but haven't used it in the past 5-6 years. I was able to force my new Windows 10 machine to access the share through an old Firefox browser after a while fiddling. Yay!
Now I can see my share but I want to mount the hard disk as a drive so i can easily copy to a new more modern externa backup drive. I can see the Duo on my network, but when I click on it I get :
Is there any way to simply transfer the tons of files I have or mount it on a win10 machine? I see links in the browser to do about everything but download- upload, delete, etc....
Thanks in advance

Go into "turn windows features on or off", and enable the SMB 1 /CIFS client there.
Then access the NAS using file explorer. Enter \\192.168.1.67 into the file explorer address bar, and you should see the list of shares. Make sure you use the correct slash ( \\ not //).
