   Windows XP was the last to support SMB1 natively, so it will need to be   
   installed for Windows 7 (I think even 10+ turns an activated SMB1 off if not   
   used within a 30 or 40 day period) to share files with an older OS. Since   
   Louis is going directly from    
   one system to the other over Ethernet, that doesn't have a security risk for   
   the Windows 7 system. However, if he has it on the Internet (which it may be   
   through its main NIC) with SMB1, that is a risk without a good firewall.
