Adding sources of file selection? Noritsu QSS 3000

I have no idea what to call this but I would like to save up some money and not call any "repairman" for this. You see, it seems like I will have to fix my laptop's OS and that means going back to nothing. Thus I will need to reconnect it to the minilab as a source of files. Could anyone tell me how this can be done? I don't want to mess anything up and the minilab is like a mysterious beast...

The connection with the Noritsu is just the same as networking any 2 computers together. The only thing that can be a bit tricky is connecting the old Windows 2000 OS to newer OS's like Windows 10.

I'm guessing you had a network share on your laptop that was accessed by the Noritsu?

If so, as long as you keep the Laptop computer name, Workgroup name, (folder)share name and IP address the same as it was, you shouldn't have any problems connecting to the laptop from the Noritsu after getting it fixed.

The thing is I've started working with this machine like 4 months ago and it's my first time using it. Whenever something breaks I lose a few years of my life, haha. And I've got shaky hands whenever I have to do anything with it. 

Still, if you say so then it'll be fine. I'm using Windows 7 on both computers, the PC and laptop. 

If I, by any chance screw up the naming of all the things, I'll just have to connect it to the network via windows settings?
