Windows 10: Aarrggghhhh!!!! file and data sharing

OK I am f$#king over it, I don't care about hackers, privacy, firewalls or any thing else. I have 10 computers all interconnected via ethernet and a switch or two. Is there any bloody thing I can use so that I can share everything with everything else? So sick of Windows Networking headache.

Share files through homegroup

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are trying to share files and data to your computer by using HomeGroup. I suggest you to refer the below steps and check if it helps creating and sharing files through Homegroup.

How to Check HomeGroup has been Created on Windows 10

• 
  Go to the HomeGroup
  window.
  
• 
  You can see the list of
  libraries and devices that the system is sharing in the homegroup.
  
• 
  There are many options available for you to do any changing.
  
• 
  For instance, you can change the password by selecting the
  Change Password link.
  

With a view of sharing data with other computers in homegroup, you need to ensure whether the
network discovery is turned on. If it is not you will face problems while sharing the data.

How to turn on Network Discovery on Windows 10

• 
  Press (hit) on the Change Advanced Sharing Settings link when you are into the
  HomeGroup window.
  
• 
  Navigate to the Private (current profile) section.
  
• 
  Select the option which says to
  Turn on network discovery.
  
• 
  Then select the option of
  Turn on file and printer sharing so that you can be able to share files and printers within the homegroup.
  
• 
  Windows will administer your homegroup connection by default. But, by the way, if you want to put some extra security then create a user account and password for any machines that are connected to your homegroup.
  
• 
  So to do this, select the
  Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers
  option.
  

Hope this information is helpful. Keep us posted to help you better.

 

Steam Game Sharing?

This sounds pretty awesome, if true. There are a lot of old games I don't play that I'd be willing to share with friends, and there are some that I'd want to play but not sure about actually buying as well.
