Question on Security for Nearby Sharing and Workgroups
I am trying Nearby Sharing and I used the setting of sharing and receiving form my devices only. How does Windows 10 know which devices are mine? I have two laptops with the same Microsoft Account and password. Does that set them apart sufficiently so that other devices cannot share? Also, when I am on a public network is Nearby Sharing disabled if I have discovery on a public network off? I set up a Workgroup by renaming the "Workgroup" in Windows 10. I was going to use it for sharing but when I enter it into the "share with specific people" I get the message that it cannot be found. Thanks.
