Windows 10: Is there a way to do LAN on Windows 10 home edition?

First time posting here. I've spent several days trying to google or otherwise, properly search this topic but can't find one specific to my issue.

I'm trying to setup a LAN connection to two desktops in my house. Both are Windows 10 home edition. All tutorial videos I've watched or guides I have followed all indicate that I need to access secpol.msc which can't be accessed on Home Editions of Windows. I've done a couple of things to make it to where I can add group policy editing/updating to regedit but I don't exactly know how to proceed from there.

Is it even possible to do on Home Edition? Network administration is not as clear cut and simple as I remember it being previously on past Windows operating systems and I don't quite have my finances in order enough to upgrade two machines. All other forums and places I've searched talk about Homegroups and things like that but I'm not confident it helps with what I'm trying to achieve.



Any help is appreciated in advance.

Good LAN party games?

Most of my suggestions have already been listed.

However, I found Swat4 to actually be a pretty fun LAN game, especially at smaller LAN parties.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
