I have a crossover cable connecting a Windows 10 and a Windows 7 system. They are connected but can't see each other. Both show public network. I would like to be able to copy files across using the connection. I don't have other network or router to use.

I don't seem to be able to find Open Start > Settings > Network & Internet, under Change your network settings, click Sharing options. As far as I know the system is up to date.

Windows 10 Version 2004 (OSBuild 19041.450)
