Go into "turn windows features on and off" on the PC, and enable the SMB 1.0 client software.
Note that Microsoft is deprecating that client because the 1.0 protocol isn't secure. Personally I'm fine with using that protocol on a home network, but opinions on that vary.
Given the age of the NAS, you might plan on getting a modern replacement (perhaps an RN214 or an RN422). That will be much faster, have some more features - and will support SMB 3. You could then repurpose the NV+ as a backup NAS (using rsync to back up the newer model).
Thank. I have enabled SMB1 however I still can't acess the data on the shares. Before WIN10 I could acess in Explorer by selecting the NAS and then a drop down menu would allow access to the data
Now whenever I select the NAS it takes me to the IP address and Admin pages where I can't seem to access the data
Try entering \\nas-ip-address (or \\nas-host-name) into the file explorer address bar and see if that works. Use the real IP address or hostname of course - and be careful to use the correct slash direction.
OK well thats the normal method if I click on thedrive it takes me to that address with 2 issues.
1. I keep getting Secuiry Cert issue warnings I hace to navigate around and
2. When I enter user and pw I see the admin page but still cannot see how to access the data
Both of these issues are because you are typing //192.168.1.92 - ignoring my instructions to be careful to use the correct slash direction. You need to enter \\192.168.1.92 in the file explorer address bar.

Well, you didn't type what I meant you to type in the post above (you said you typed \\nas-ip-192.168.1.92 and not \\192.168.1.192 )
//192.168.1.92 won't work - as you discovered, it launches your browser and connects with http.
But if you have tried \\192.168.1.192 already, then try running CMD by entering CMD in the windows search box. That will open a black text box. Select that box and enter
net use * /delete
net use z: \\192.168.1.92\C /user:admin nas-admin-password
using the real admin password instead of the italics. Be very careful on the typing - particularly spaces and slash direction. Note both slash directions are used in the commands above.
The first command terminates any open SMB sessions. If it prompts, let it proceed.
The second command attempts to mount the data volume on your NAS as drive letter Z on the PC. Let us know if it works (or what error you get).
Running CMD just opens a command prompt with it's "home" folder as your local user folder (C:\Users\Garret). Once you've successfully completed the commands @StephenB listed, you should see drive "Z" under "My Computer", which is your NAS, but can use it as if it were a drive. Alternately, from that command prompt, type: dir z:
