Interesting, it didn't do that with my Win 7 upgrade.
I think the issue is the microsoft account (the logon format isn't recognized by the NAS).
Try going into the credentials manager (type that in "search the web and Windows"), and enter a windows credential for the NAS (using a NAS user account and password). If you have no accounts set up on the NAS, then use the NAS admin account.

Type Credential in the search box for Win 10, then select Credential Manager. Then select Windows Credentials.
There may or may not be any Windows Credentials listed (top line.)
Select Add a Windows Credential

username and password come from the setup on your Netgear box.
Should be good to go.

Correct. You can optionally substitute \\nas.ip.address for the device if you prefer not to use the name (this assumes you've reserved the IP address in the router, or it is static).
