Windows 7 Ultimate, 7 Starter, and Vista Ultimate will not. Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 Creators Edition work fine. I've already set the Mac per Apple instructions. I have 6 windows computers on the network I wish to connect to. Note that I am not an IT professional, I just want my computers to communicate with each other, both directions. I don't know if this is the right forum or not, Michelle Herr from gave me a link to the TechNet forum and said I should post my problem here. Question: Cannot connect to Mac 10.11 El Capitan from Windows 7 Ultimate
