I just bought a new PC and am trying to connect to another computer by sharing on private network. My old computer was connected to the network and I have turned on network sharing etc and turned off password protection on new windows 11 computer.

I have changed manual to automatic on the 4 items recommended under services.msn

The windows 10 computer sees my windows 11 computer under network

How do i see the windows 10 computer in network on my windows 11 computer so I can connect by ethernet to Quickbooks as my old computer did.

Do I need to up date all computers to windows 11, same versions?

***moved from Windows / Windows 11 / Internet and connectivity***

    Only works for windows 11 pro thou i think, i only have windows 11 home.#

    Good point. I assumed that one could simply edit the Registry to do the same thing if running the Home Edition.

    A little digging revealed this: https://www.stefanobordoni.cloud/howto-enable-insecure-guest-logon-on-w11/ 

    Hopefully this will help you.

    Thank you. This is very helpful...assuming that one has the Pro Edition of Windows 11.

    For those of us (@Chris Sercombe) who are running the Home Edition, the same thing can be done directly through the Registry Editor: https://www.stefanobordoni.cloud/howto-enable-insecure-guest-logon-on-w11/ 

    For my own part, I already solved this by adding a password to my Hello login on the offending machine that could not be reached. This is a one-time step that is described earlier in this thread.

    It sounds like the combination of what's in Dennis's video and the introduction of "Hello" login that causes all of this connection problem. On the surface, it sounds like Microsoft just needs to address networking on Hello account machines. There should be exposed Settings for this that don't require this level of shenanigans.

    Seriously, that we have to dive this deep to get this funct5ionality is mindboggling. I cannot fathom MS has not provided a simple tool to help from upgradiung from an old WIN 10 machine to a new WIN 11 machine on the same netwerk.
