Two ReadyNAS boxen not recognized by Windows 10 Preview

SOLVED!
I had a similar problem connecting Windows 10 to an older NAS. Here is the solution:
There is a setting in windows Local Security Policy which is incorrectly set by default for viewing an older communication protocol NAS.
To access said setting go to the control panel in Windows 10 (or 7), in Category view click on the text “System and Security”, then click on the text “Administrative Tools”.
Now double click and open “Local Security Policy”.
In the Local Security Policy screen on the left navigation tree, expand the “Local Policies –> Security Options” then about 2/3rd’s the way down the list you’ll see a Policy called “Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level”. Double click and change the setting to be “Send LM & NTLM – use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated.”
Then just press OK and close all of the open windows and then try again
In the case of Windows 10 Home, Local Security Policy does not exist; therefore make the change in the registry (use regedit).
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\control\LSA
Add:
LMCompatibilityLevel
Value Type: REG_DWORD – Number (32 bit, hexadecimal)
Valid Range 0-5
Default: 0, Set to 1 (Use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated)
Description: This parameter specifies the type of authentication to be used.

Could you be so kind as to do a screen capture of this section of your registry so a novice like myself can just copy it?

Hi NJRadioGuy,
Do you have RAIDar utility installed in your machine? Can you confirm if the old DUO unit is accessible to other PCs or Windows Machine?
Kind regards,

I have a ReadyNAS NV+ that I cannot get recognized by Windows 10. I had managed to get it to be in FileExplorer but when I double click on it I get error 0x80004002 No Such interface Supported. I have tried a number of things, none which have worked. So I did as you recommend here. First, Administrative Tools and Local Security Policy were in a different location. It was listed under Apps. So I changed the setting, and now my NAS has disappeared from FileExlorer. I tried to change the setting back but it won't let me. I didn't do the second item because I am running Windows 10 Professional 64 bit.
You got any suggestions?

Try this test:
Open CMD and enter
net use * /delete
net use t: \\NASIPADDRESS\c /user:admin NASADMINPASSWORD
The first terminates any open network connections. It might prompt - if so, let it proceed. The second maps the NAS C data volume to driver letter t. Use the real nas ipaddress and nas admin passord of course.
Let us know what happens.
