Very nice and informative article
Thanks so much for sharing
Thank you so much! Your way of presenting the procedure is vastly preferable to any of the others I have seen over these past 2 weeks. I have tried and tried to get two Windows 10 PCs to see each other and share data. I even had a professional do a remote access and attempt the same but to no avail after an hour and a half. I myself have spent way too many hours attempting to do this. So many of the others assume we know networking basics but there are so many “little” things that are different on each computer, it is only by showing pictures of each screen that I was able to make it work. I am so grateful because my original PC had given me the BSOD already several times and I have 1000s of photos I needed to transfer to my new PC before the older one bites the dust. I do not have time to use USB flash drives, etc. to do slower transfers. Again, kudos to you!!!
