Lost contact with NAS after upgrading Windows 10
I have recently upgraded Windows 10 on my computer and after the upgrade I appear to have lost contact with the NAS. When I click "Browse" in RAIDar I get the following error message (translated to English):
"192.168.1.67
You cannot connect to the file resource since it is not safe. The resource requires the outdated SMB1 protocol which is unsafe and can cause your computer to be attacked. For your computer, SMB2 or later is required. More information on how the problem can be solved is available in: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=852747"
Is it possible to upgrade the NAS to run the SMB2 protocol? If not, is it possible to solve the problem some other way?
Options include
- Installing the SMB 1.0 client on your Windows system. You do this by going into "turn windows features on or off"
- Installing the NFS client in Windows and enable NFS in the NAS.
- Converting your NAS to run OS-6. This is unsupported by Netgear, but would give you SMB 3.0

The first option is advised against for safety reasons.
The second option is not ideal either, since one of the three computers connected to the NAS does not run Windows 10 Pro.
Remains the third option. Any instructions available on how to?
