  1. Network connectivity between PC's running W10 pro and home


    I have 3 PC's, all running the same version of windows 10 1909 except 2 are 'Pro' 1 is 'Home' The problem is that although both Pro versions can access shared folders on any of the 3 machines, the one running 'home' cannot access shared folders on the other 2. When clicking the pc icons in 'network' window, a box asking for 'windows credentials' opens but anything entered returns a 'username or password incorrect' error. After extensive googling and setting changes I am unable to resolve so any help will be appreciated. I should add that I am also unable to change the network ID setting from business to home on the 2 'pro' machines. Thanks.

    :)

  2. Losing network connection

    Hello Dear, if you have a laptop or a PC with a wireless network adapter, you can see a list of available wireless networks and then connect to one of those networks. The wireless networks will only appear if your PC has a wireless network adapter installed, the adapter is turned on, and the wireless access point is in range.

    1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.

    2. In the left pane, under Network Tasks, click View available wireless networks.
    In case, If you don't see the network you want to connect to, click Refresh network list. If you see the network but the signal is weak, move the PC closer to the wireless router.

    3. Click the network you want to connect to, and then click Connect.

    4. If you're connecting to a secure network, type the security key, and then click OK.

    I Hope you solve out your query soon.
