Windows 11
I am running windows 10 now on desktop connected to Comcast with wired AX TP-Link router. I just ordered new desktop with Windows 11. Question is this: Can I connect both of them to the same router to transfer files? The new desktop will have a wireless card or would I be better off to plug it in to the router?
Thank you

Welcome to Eleven Forum.

Yes, you should have no trouble connecting both to your network.

Wi-Fi or Ethernet should make no difference. I have quite a few laptops running W10 or W11 and the odd one or two with W7. They almost all use Wi-Fi to connect to the router, and all can see each other's network shares and transfer files between them.
