Go into "turn windows features on or off" on the PC, and then install the SMB 1/CIFS client.

Try running CMD on the PC, and then enter
net use * /delete /y net use t: \\nas-ip-address\C /user:admin nas-admin-password
using the real IP address and NAS admin password of course, and see if that works. Be careful on the typing (spaces and the two slash directions). The first command terminates any open SMB sessions; the second attempts to mount the NAS data volume as drive letter T.
If you are still using the NAS default admin password, you'll need to change that to a different password first.
