SMB2 is a new version of the old Windows filesharing protocol SMB and is used for filesharing on modern Windows hosts. If you're getting an error that says "Your System Requires SMB2 or Higher," it should be an easy fix.

Open the Command Prompt or Powershell and type in Get-SmbServerConfiguration | Select EnableSMB2Protocol.



You should receive a True in response, meaning you can run SMB2 on your computer. If not, you might need to be sure you have the latest build of Windows.



If you received a False response, type in Set-SmbServerConfiguration –EnableSMB2Protocol $true

To enable SMB2 on Windows 10, you need to press the Windows Key + S, start typing and click on Turn Windows features on or off. You can also search the same phrase in Start, Settings.

Scroll down to SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support and check that top box.



Windows 10 will download any required files and ask you to reboot.

SMB2 is now enabled.
