Windows 10: Networking, which OS

Hi all,


I run a small business, I have three windows enterprise pcs and one with windows xp as it still supports my windows ce 6.5 device, I have several staff members.


I would like to have the ability to use one of the machines as a server for ALL of the machines so i can then have this as a kind of domain setup so the users can be controlled centrally.


I have setup user accounts on each of the machines and because we deal with patients we have a lot of sensitive data.


I have worked out to set group policy specific to users in order to control access to the systems and certain files but i would like to be able to setup active directory to be able to make all of this more simplified, i am opening another store in the next few months so eventually i would like to be able to link the machines to the 3-4 that will also be over at that business.


Ideally, I would be able to login to one of the pc's to setup a user, policy, change password etc and this work across all of them at the same time. As much as some things are in place at the moment I am struggling with domains and how to set this up and connecting the computers to it and then eventually active directory once i have managed this.


Any ideas would be fantastic, most google searches just tell me what these things are, not clearly how i would set them up.


Thanks all,

David

Did our Epson printer get hacked?

Another question, is this on a home network or a work network? The steps @eidairaman1 listed are always a good first step. If this is on a work network you manage, I'd be much more concerned than the home one. It is possible someone is screwing with you, but malware could also be the culprit.
