ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Does Not Show Up On Windows 10 Network ... But Did At First

Thankyou kindly for pushing me over the line there:
The case of the disappearing ReadyNAS Ultra 6 on Window 10 has been solved.
I will confirm file transfers are successful ... just a second ... yes.
A few questions: Why was it appearing at the beginning, and then suddenly refusing?
IF SMB 1.0 has been so unacceptable for so long ... surely the red flags would be waving a little louder on Windows 10?
Also why the Macs do not appear to require identification, and now this PC on a private internal ethernet network requires ID seems odd ? Is it ?
Either way, thankyou.
Thankyou for extended response, just to clarify is there a plain setting in Windows 10 to re enable SMB 1.0.
We are talking a simple internal network, so why would it have worked at all ... if SMB 1.0 suddenly falls out of favour ?
I can't upgrade to the newer Netgear OS, Netgear does not allow it. Hopefully they realise this isn't fair, and now appears to be sabotaging their own gear.
My files are currently stuck there, albeit with redundancy, but I can't clean sweep it right now ...
"4.2 systems only support SMB 1.0 - which Microsoft is deprecating. " I don't understand why Windows 10 would not be able to fix or patch SMB 1.0 if this is the case.
Still reading your response. Hopefully I will resolve.

I posted the screen shot of that "plain setting". If the box next to the SMB 1.0 client is checked, it is enabled.
The security issues in SMB 1.0 are fundamental, so they couldn't be fixed in the client alone. It doesn't support encryption, and the authentication method is vulnerable man-in-the-middle attacks. The core protocol is ancient (early 90s) and goes back to a time when security wasn't on anyone's radar.
Microsoft did patch it over the years, but the real fix is SMB 3.0. But your NAS is end-of-life, and Netgear announced it was discontinuing OS 4.2 firmware development quite a while ago. Back-porting SMB 3.0 (or even completing the back-port of SMB 2.0) to it's old software is a pretty big project. I don't expect Netgear to take it on. OS 6 conversion is the only way to get there right now (unless you buy a new NAS).

About ReadyNASHacking up to Netgear OS 6, is there a path to do it WITHOUT cleansweeping the server ?
No. One reason is that the disks are formatted differently - using a completely different file system. So it requires a factory default, which destroys your data and all your settings.
The conversion is reversible, but the reversal also destroys data and settings.
So these are the selections I have made
I am testing now.
As you can see, the Server exists/ populates:
Beyond these two, I'm not sure what must more be done:
I can try the idea of creating HomeGroups and WorkGroups but Windows 10 seems to be resistant to that anyway, and as I said it was working.
Aftering trying to test Homegroup:
