Got remote desktop working on the old laptop. Once I can figure out how to get network drives to work between Linux and Windows I'll have a neat little torrent setup

Windows sharing to linux or linux sharing to windows?

Edit: also which version of windows 'cos smb had a supported version shift

If they're using smb1 they should probably just unplug the device and place it neatly inside the nearest bin anyway. Customers clinging to smb1 was the bane of my existence back in my support role.
