SAMBA Share in Windows 10

[Doofus]

I have two Humax PVRs and a Smart TV.

My tv can see both Humax HDDs and my Dell laptop. My laptop can't see the Humaxes.

I have SAMBA and FTP server 'on' on each of the PVRs.

On my laptop, If I modify Windows features, and scroll down to "SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support", SMB 1.0/CIFS Client is not ticked. So I tick it, click OK, go back to check it and it's still unticked.

I found something online saying to create a new DWORD in the registry, which I did, but it made no difference, so I removed it again.

If I try to see one of the PVRs by entering the IP into Windows Explorer, it tells me "Windows cannot access 192.168.0.15", or whatever IP I enter. It offers me the chance to Diagnose, but can't find anything wrong.

I'm working way above my pay grade here, but does anyone have any advice, in simple English?

I just want to move some recordings from one PVR to the other, because the new one (Humax FVP 5000T) is so utterly st in every way that after weeks of discussion with Humax, and them admitting that it is designed to be utterly st in every way, I am sending it back. I've tried to copy the recordings to a USB stick, but the PVR keeps saying I can't due to copy protection.

SMB v1 is deprecated but have you tried selecting all three checkboxes & rebooting?

I'm not sure if you need to turn off SMB v2&3 as well.

I have tried selecting all three boxes (one and three are already ticked), and rebooting. the Client box unticks immediately, reboot or not.

Where do I turn off SMB 2 & 3?
