Install FreeNAS onto WD My Book Live Duo or build own kit

[ClanMurphy]

The geniuses at Microsoft killed SMB1 & SMB2 compatibility in both Win7 & Win10. Following every instruction under the sun to install or activate either has had no effect. So, all my backups are no longer accessible. Is it possible to install FreeNAS onto a Western Digital My Book Live Duo NAS? I found a kludge for my WD MyCloud but not for the Seagate GoFlex or WD MBLD. Would I be better off building my own kit?
Thank you.

While it is not recommended by Microsoft, it is possible to enable SMB1 and SMB2 on Windows 10. If you really need it, then you need to dig a little more into how this is done.
