I'll take your word that it'll work. However, how do I configure MacOS and Windows to see each other so that I can transfer files over from the Windows desktop?

To connect from Mac to Windows PC, if it's not showing on the sidebar on Mac: in Finder, Go > Connect to Server, then type smb://[computer name]

To connect from Windows to Mac, type \\[computer name] in Windows Explorer. Enter your Mac's user name and password when prompted.
