I wanted to know how to create a share on the pi, that is accessible by
a Windows machine. As I use the pi as a pi hole, there is not really a
need to achieve this, but I wanted to know how to do it. Soon I will
install a Linux on our laptop instead of its current Windows 7. And I
need to recreate a share on that machine for bi-directional file transports.
On the pi it was just an exercise.

I use RealVNC to control the pi from my Windows machine. That works well.
