Windows networking is, at least for me, impossible to work with. So, are there software available that one can use for setting up networks and establish file/printer sharing in and between Windows 11 and Windows 10?

Thnaks for your help!

Back in the Windows 7 days, I use to use Network Magic. I don't know if it's still available and if it will work in Windows 11.

Obviously no longer available. There are alternatives, but I will have to check and see if they are worth purchasing (if they do what I need).

Thanks anyway!

Doing a search I found that It is available but like I said I'm not sure if it will work in Windows 11. If you want to try it search on the MajorGeeks website.

I did see this before, but since it was from 2016, I assumed the note somewhere else that it was no longer available was correct. In any event, Win 11 is not mentioned, so no update by MajorGeeks.
