To connect a Windows 11 PC to the same network as a Windows 10 PC, ensure both are connected to the same network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet), and both have network discovery and file and printer sharing enabled. You can also check that both computers are in the same workgroup or domain. Here's a more detailed breakdown;
1. Network Connection
Ensure both PCs are on the same network: Verify that both Windows 11 and Windows 10 computers are connected to the same Wi-Fi network or are connected to the same Ethernet switch. Check network settings: You can check the network connection settings in the Control Panel or Settings app on both computers.
2. Network Discovery & Sharing
Enable network discovery: In the Network and Sharing Center, ensure that "Turn on network discovery" and "Turn on file and printer sharing" are enabled for the network type you are using (e.g., Private or Domain). Check advanced sharing settings: In the Network and Sharing Center, you can also adjust advanced sharing settings, including enabling public folder sharing.
3. Firewall
Check firewall settings: Ensure that the firewall is not blocking network communication between the two PCs. You can temporarily disable the firewall to see if that resolves the issue, then add exceptions if necessary.
4. Workgroup / Domain
Ensure the same workgroup or domain: Both computers should be part of the same workgroup (for home networks) or the same domain (for corporate networks).
5. Account Credentials
Use specific credentials: If one computer is part of a domain or uses different credentials, you may need to specify the username and password of that computer when trying to access it.
Try accessing the other computer by its IP address instead of its name. Example below (this is just example address, use your own IP address from another computer);
