If Users are setup in Windows 11 Pro will they be accessible on PCs running Windows 11 Home?

I have a network of, currently, 2 PCs both using Windows 11 Home and want to setup Users and use Groups to set policies such as access to specific shares of folders, files printers and Dropbox. I have already attempted to create local users but sharing seems very complex and it looks as if I will have to setup each User with access to shares individually which could prove unwieldly. I want to be able to setup a roup with the shares etc in place and then simply add Users and new Users to this group.

Windows 11 Home doesn't appear to allow me to do this, therefore, if I upgrade just 1 PC to Windows 11 Pro and create the Users and assign to Groups with specific access etc will this allow these Users to log on to both the Home and Pro PCs and still have access to shared folders, files, printers, Dropbox etc as well as their own personal files?

Thanks

    Hello,

    Have you encountered any problems in setting up sharing and Ntfs permissions for groups in Windows Home Edition? Could you please describe it in detail? If the permissions are set correctly, there will be no problem with access. I suggest you refer to the following link first:
