            Neither. I don't understand that at all...

                  Let's back up a second here. How do you login to your PC?

                  It logs in with my Microsoft account into. My [email protected] email.

                  See which kind of account you’re using
                  Step 1: Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and tap Settings.
                  (If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and click Settings.)
                  Step 2: Tap or click Change PC settings.
                  Step 3:
                  Tap or click Accounts.

                  Info about your account appears under your name:

                  If you see an email address, then you’re using a Microsoft account.
                  If you see Local account, your account is just on your Surface (not connected to the cloud). To switch to a Microsoft account, tap or click Connect your Microsoft account.
                  If a you see a network domain (domain name\username), then you’re using a domain account, such as an account for your workplace. To connect your Microsoft account to your domain account, tap or click Connect your Microsoft account. See Connect your Microsoft account to your domain account to learn how.

                    On my PC my username is listed as [email protected]. According to this article, microsoft accounts should always have @microsoft.com, @outlook.com, etc. You can use them like a regular user account and add them into the security just like you would any other account. It sounds like you are using a local account

                      @IRJ That's odd my Microsoft account is one with a custom domain. Not sure if it is because it is an older account or now.

                        @IRJ , at the logon screen, it shows [email protected]. I'm not home to pull it up at the moment, but I'm about 99% sure it's a Microsoft account.

                          I think you can use Gmail to make a Microsoft account, too.

                            How did you send the screenshots?

                                  That doesn't prove anything yet. Go to user accounts in the control panel

                                        AJ, have you tried pinging the machine first? Are you sure Windows 8.1's firewall is open to allow filesharing?
