It isn't strange, it is to be expected.
If I remember correctly, fedora 27 came with Samba 4.7.9 and the
default for 'server min protocol' was 'LANMAN1'
This was changed at Samba 4.11.0 to default to 'SMB2_02'

This means that if your Win7 machine is only using SMBv1, then it could
connect to the fedora 27 machine, but it would not be able to connect
to fedora 41, where SMBv1 is turned off by default.

Is there a working NFS client for Windows 7 ? I know there is one for
the latest Windows. It will probably be easier to get Samba working.
