How do I get a Win 7 Pro computer to display users on a Win 10 Pro computer connected to the same Private network?

When I log onto a desktop computer running Windows 7 Pro and click on the icon for Windows Explorer/Networking my Windows 10 Pro notebook is shown, however the only User is Public.

The Win 10 Pro notebook configuration under Network and Sharing Center/Advance sharing:
1. Private profile has been selected and “turn on network discovery” is selected with automatic setup checked.
2. All Networks, “Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can read and write files in the public folders” is checked.

By selecting these options the Win 10 Pro notebook became discovered by the Win 7 notebook. What do I need to do to allow specific Users to share Folder/Files access on computers running Win 7 Pro and Win 10 Pro connected to a Private network?

The title of your post ask different question than the body. You want ordinary users to be able to share and access folders, or you want to do some remote monitoring?

Ordinary users

Make your users log in with known user name and password. On computer acting as a "Server", create same users with same passwords. You can put these users in a group, for easier management. Share a folder, and give these users (or group) permissions both thru the share, and over the shared folder, as needed.

Or invest in a NAS.
