I will assume you have both Windows 10 installed on a machine (or multiple machines) and a Samba share at the ready from your data center. I want to walk you through the process of making that connection between Windows 10 and your Linux shares.

Considering how many businesses rely on Samba for the sharing of folders, this was a bad move on the part of Microsoft. When Windows 10 was released, it seemingly broke the ability to easily connect to Linux Samba shares.
