This has to be the worst tutorial EVER!! Seriously! There's like 100+ settings in Samba and if one is wrong then nothing works. This dopey idiot should be fired!!

This tutorial makes invalid assumptions on the knowledge of the reader. It is by no means a guide for newbies.

Good Tutorial, one of the simplest tutorials to setup samba on Linux out there, it gets you 95% there. The only clarification I would make is this :

To Setup Windows 10 to access Linux Share:
1. You need to make sure you can access SMB as guest from windows 10. Follow this link: https://technoresult.com/fi...
2.Restart your windows PC
3. Lookup the -exact- name of your Linux Box Server providing the samba share drive, look in your Linux file manager, it should now show up under "Network"
something like this: "smb://music-desktop.local"
4. From your windows explorer address box type: smb:\\<your.exact.computer.name.as.listed.in.linux>\<share folder="">
