File sharing - WINDOWS 10 - ReadyNAS no longer connecting
Cannot see/access/satisfy-password on ReadyNAS NV+ and ReadyNAS 516 on Windows 10 home -- after the Windows update last week. Now: Windows 10 home, Version 1511, OS Build 10586.11 I simply ...
For OS6 models we'd recommend running 6.5.2 or later. 6.5.0 and later has the new WSD discovery service.
With Windows 10 you also want the workgroup on the NAS to match the one on your PC.
What firmware are you running? Are you using share security mode or user security mode?
Are you using the microsoft login, or a local user login on the laptop?
If you are running user security mode, then try entering cmd in the bottom search bar, and enter
net use * /delete
net use t: \\nasipaddress\C /user:admin password
nasipaddress is the ip address of the nas (name likely works too)
password is the NAS admin password
That should mount the NAS data volume as drive letter T.
If you are using share security mode, you probably need to switch to user security mode. There is some guidance here: http://readynas.sphardy.com/2010/09/how-to-migrate-to-user-security-mode_4917.html
The answer above worked for me. The only change is where 'C' is listed in the command line it will need to reflect for actual volume name - that maybe 'C' or 'data', etc. or it will fail.

C is the name of your nas volume

Yes, you need to use an actual data volume name. My intial post was focussed on the NV+ v1 NAS, which has a volume of C (with potentially additional D,E, and F volumes if flexraid/jbod is used).
OS6 names are of course different.
