Backing up Win10 to Another Win10 Laptop Through WiFi

BigSmoke3320

My constraints are as follows

>Backup my daily laptop to my backup laptop

>Backup laptop needs to remain on windows 10, or be able to boot into Windows 10

>Must use WiFi (my new laptop doesn't have Ethernet)

 

My Idea:

Set my old laptop to use a static ip, and configure a random folder for filesharing

connect new laptop to said shared folder, as network device.

mount the network device as a drive, and set as backup drive

 

My Problems:

When trying to make changes to the shared folder, I keep running into permissions errors when writing from the network side (ie. even using my old laptop, going through network devices). I have tried to set everyone's permisions to read/write, but that did not make any changes, I even tried setting the accesibility to everyone, and then setting read/write permisions. I still cant even create a .txt 

 

Am I going about this the wrong way, or am I doing this wrong.

Did you try audit permissions? What does that give you?

 

That should work fine.

 

Id stay away from static ip and use hostnames if you can.

I only have read and read/write options.

I took a step back, and tried to configure everything again, but i keep running into credentials issues.

I have attatched a screenshot to give some more info. I made a local account on my old laptop and gave access to the folder, but i cannot connect to the computer with those credentials.
