Hi,
From my search result, Windows 10 is still supported in Windows Home Server 2011:

http://www.wegotserved.com/2015/07/06/windows-10-now-supports-windows-home-server-client-backup/Have you tried to access http://<ServerName>/connect for a re-connection?
If a client connector was already installed, please test to uninstall it and access http://<ServerName>/connect again to see if it could be reinstalled correctly.
If still fail please let us know the error message.

Everything I read states that a Windows 10 PC can use the client connect to server software for Windows Home Server 2011. Yet, when I go to my browser and enter IP Address/connect the installation eventually fails and backs out stating that
The Installation is cancelled
The Windows Home Server 2011 Connector has encountered an unexpected error.
Click close to undo most of the changes that are made to this computer.
I attempted to insert a couple screen captures but this tool would not allow me to drag and drop those .png images.
Please let me know how I can get this to work since it states everywhere I look that it is supposed to work.
Thanks!
