A whole lot to digest... and I'm not even really sure what the problem
is. Or how it is related to LMS. From what I understand the problem
you're having is accessing the SMB share on your OMV from your newly
update laptop?
Given the age you mentioned most likely OMV is running an old
implementation of the SMBv1 protocol, which is considered dangerous, and
thus disabled on most modern operating systems. Buying a new Windows
machine would lead you into the same kind of trouble: it likely would
not connect to the OMV box.
So the real solution likely will be to bring that box up to date - or
replace it, as you suggested.
