Remember that Windows will automatically present your Windows Logon to the NAS when you access it. If the NAS denies that credential, you'll get a user/password prompt. If the NAS doesn't deny it, then you get the access rights specified in the NAS for that user. Administrative rights in Windows don't count.
From your symptoms, the first laptop is logged in with user name = admin, and has the proper password. Only the built-in admin account on the NAS will see the "C" volume and the "home" directory.
The second laptop is using different credentials.
You can confirm this (and also set the credentials you use with the NAS) by running the Credential Manager in the Windows control panel.
