You can do this by opening Explorer and then clicking on Network at the bottom. Next you have to map the folder as a drive in Windows 10. Then I clicked on the Sharing tab, Advanced Sharing, checked Share this folder, clicked on Permissions and gave Everyone Full Control. You obviously don’t have to give everyone full control, I’m just doing it here because it’s easier to setup.

So I went to Windows 7 and shared the folder by right-clicking and choosing Properties. These are the three test files I want to include: As an example, I wanted to include some files stored on my Windows 7 PC in the Windows 10 search index. You’ll need to share the folder on your NAS or on the host machine, if it’s files stored on a Windows PC, for example.

The first thing you want to do is actually share the folder you want to include in the index.
