      Biting the hand trying to help you shows a complete lack of class. Do you really expect people you deliberately insult to try to help you? Dude. I hope you said NO! If you said yes, you’re delusional. Good luck with it!

      EVERY version of Windows from XP and Server 2000 on has the network and sharing center. It is part of the core Windows operating system.

      If you’re running Windows on a modern computer/laptop/tablet, you DO have the network and sharing center.

    WHY oh WHY does MS make it almost impossible to share resources over a LAN? Each piece is completely disconnected from the rest that it is like a pack of morons actually want it to not work. IMPOSSIBLE and hours wasted. This is simply massive and gross incompetence!!!!

    I have Network Sharing enabled on a Windows 10 Home and Windows 11 Pro. I have 4 drives I would like to access on the W10 system from my W11Pro system but no matter what I do, I can never get the drives to appear on Windows 11. There shouldn’t be anything preventing the ability to see the computer, yet I see nothing. I have followed the directions above and all see to work out just fine.
