Question Windows File sharing question. - Unable to access computer not under the same domain

[DanTheMan333]

I'm getting the error "you can't access this shared folder because your organization's security policies block unauthenticated guest access". The shared file is on a Windows 7 machine and we are trying to access it from a Windows 10 computer that is on a secure domain. The windows 7 machine is connected to a windows 10 computer via an ethernet cable on a different network card.

What we have tried:

1. Map the network drive from the windows 10 PC but gives the same error
2. Map the network drive from the Windows 7 PC but it wants to be on a workgroup or domain (we can’t have a Windows 7 pc on the same domain as all of our Windows 10 PCs due to Windows 7 security issues. Also, making both on the workgroup would disconnect us from the secure domain network.)
3. Basic windows file sharing but this also gives the same error.

The machine came with Windows 7 but unfortunately we are unable to update it to Windows 10.

Question: is there another way (back-door) to access a shared file (connected from a windows 7 computer to a windows 10 computer) without being on the domain or workgroup?

Forum rules prohibit assistance with such hacks, bypasses, or any means to circumvent security measures.

The problem needs to be addressed by the host organization's IT staff.
