Homegroup in Win 10 after 1803 update
Hi,
I have two computers in my WLAN (local home network via wireless). On one of the computers there's been Windows 7 (Home) installed. On the second - Windows 10 (home). I use router to connect the computer via Wi-Fi. I do not use any computer that acts as a server.
I used to use Homegroup to share files (without access to the Internet) between my computers. After the last Windows 10 update (1803) there is no Homegroup in Windows 10 anymore, so I'm not able to use my Homegroup.
How can I copy and use files from the other computer? I do not want to use the Internet, so the cloud is not a good solution for me. I do not want to use USB turned on to my router to share any files.
I have many files (on my computers) that change frequently, so I'm interested in a quick and stable, direct (via router; without the Internet) connection - just like Homegroup offers. I'm not intrested in installing any program or buying/using a Internet connection via VPN, P2P, torrent etc. I do not want to use any computer as a server either.
I'm quite advanced computer user. I can turn on Windows features like IIS, FTP and so on and then configurate them. I thought about IIS + SFTP + certificate (for SSL or TLSv1.2), but I am not sure that it's the only solution. Probably there's a much easier way to connect my computers.
Due to the fact, that the Windows (I use) are Windows Home, I'm not able to use everything the Windows Pro offers.
I used Homegroup to sharing files and now I'm powerless because of the Windows 10 update.
Everything I want is just to create a WLAN (for some Windows 7 Home and Windows 10 Home) using router. Simultaneously I want to have access to the Internet on each of the computers (but the montion between the computers should not use the Internet). Each of this computer has only one Wi-Fi Card. Only one has bluetooth.
I live in the countryside (in Eastern Europe) and I have a very slow internet connection. Only a direct connection of computers (via the router) satisfies me. In addition, I'd like to have a safe connection (not via FTP or HTTP).
