Connect to Windows 10 share from windows 7 PC

I am having trouble connecting to a windows 10 server share from windows 7 pc

I have a share set up called \\computer_name\Server_CDrive.  My credentials do not seem to work.  This is on a workgroup and tried using the login WORKGROUP\computer_name as the username and still no luck as well as \WORKGROUP\user name

I think the issue is "Authenticated Users" does not have permissions and when I try and add permissions I get an error.

The "H" drive is just a share of the "C" Drive.  Apparently their software needs to be setup in this fashion.
If you are trying to connect as Scott, a "Scott" User must be set on the PC you are connecting to.

I am trying to log in using the only user on that computer.  
Ok, the issue was in fact the username was wrong.  It shows the user as two words in "About" but by trial and error, it is just one word.
