I want to connect my pc and my laptop thru wifi, both on windows10

Hi Romain

In Windows 10, Microsoft for some unknown reason removed the Homegroup functionality, making it harder to share files between PC's running Windows 10

Here is Microsoft's instructions on how to share files between PC's in Windows 10:

It worked, but only on one side. I noticed though that the laptop has McAfee installed instead of windows defender. Even after turning off MCAfee on the laptop, the workstation could not connect to it. Says that I don't have access and permissions.

I want to connect my pc and my laptop thru wifi, both on windows10. I tried with file sharing, but neither of my computers appears on the network folder.

1. Check the configuration IP address and gateway are configured correctly example you can leave your WIFI on Automatic and configure this in the alternate configuration under Internet Protocol Version 4 TCP/IPv4 properties that way you can have internet on one computer and shared networking to the other or do it via the internet sharing options which is not much different to the below arrangement.

Host computer

192.168.0.1

255.255.255.0

192.168.0.2

Receiving computer or Client

192.168.0.2

255.255.255.0

192.168.0.1

close and restart your computers

then you need to set up your folders and files sharing permissions.

Follow this by configuring Networking and Sharing center.

you may need to turn off password feature and firewall to get the connection first then play around with how you want the computers to talk to each other.

example do you want to use log in and password feature or simple connection without login only recommend if your not using the internet.

Hi! romainclark

Your firewall may turn "ON" and stop you talk bewteen your PC and laptop.

(1) the easy way, just turn "off"or "Disable" All the firewall. Try both of the below link:

(2) After you successful to talk each other and share the files, you may change the firewall setting with rules to harden back the security. But it may do it later on. Just make it work first.

If you turn off all the firewall and you still cannot see each other, Your Wi-Fi router may isolated the "talk". Please let me know in that case and we see what to do next.
