As the years go by, you may have noticed that more and more of our devices are connected to each other, and now we are at the point where we can control our entire home from our smartphone or computer. And if you are not the type who wants your life controlled by your gadgets but still has a need to connect things such as your computers, printers, mobile devices and so on, it’s still possible to do with a bit of effort and research. 

Microsoft has done a fairly good job of making things easy for PC users at home and even at the office with its Windows operating system. That’s most likely why it’s the most popular and widely used operating system in the world. 

With that in mind, there is a need to get our Windows based computers communicating with each other so we can do things such as share files and printers. This is where networking comes into play, and it is the technology used to connect not only our computers, but many other devices as well. 

The goal of this book is to teach you how to network your Windows 11 based computers together so they can talk to each other and share information. In this book, you will learn how to set up user accounts, file shares, printer shares, set NTFS permissions and even do a bit of network troubleshooting just for some added fun.
