My Book Live and Windows 10

i have a TB of photos stored on my My Book Live and my laptop crashed, burned and died. But that’s amazing, because I always back up my stuff to my MBL. Bought a new laptop and now am told that windows 10 cannot see my NAS drive. Has anyone got any up to date information or have i lost 15000 photos. I’ve tried most of the you tube ideas but they don’t work and are probably older than the situation. Help please.

sorry if this has been broached before

possibly because Windows 10 disabled SMB1 for security reasons ?

there’s a few suggestions in this thread to try … hope one of the resolves the problem
