You won't be connecting to hosts on any other networks, so you don't need a default gateway or DNS servers. The two PCs just need to be on the same network. They will send out an ARP to determine the MAC address for each other's IP address and then communicate with each other. There is also no need to change the host name if you just use the specified IP addresses.
The name change is for convenience only and to prevent confusion. thats because the name the computer gives itself when installing Windows is a generic name
Thanks for this video, it is very clear and easy to understand. My only issue is I can't get the "enter network credentials" to go through. I've entered the computer name followed by \ and Microsoft user account but it won't accept it. I've confirmed the password is correct and have tried vice versa both computers and still no dice. Any suggestions? Thanks!
If you have a Microsoft account on one of your PCs, then try the following on that PC: Open Settings, then Accounts, and here open the Your data tab. Click on "Sign in with a local account instead" and go to the local account. At the password creation step, do nothing, leave all the spaces empty and click Next. This will not harm the PC, all data will remain unchanged and the problem will be solved. In any case, you can always do these steps in reverse order and return the PC to the Microsoft account.
This is not right from security perspective. If your computer/laptop has Wi-Fi and you are using public Wi-Fi , anyone one on the network can access your data if you disable password protection under all network's settings
The shortcut creation at the end of the video saved my ass... I previously did everything but nothing was showing in network session. So after creating the shortcuts for them i can access everything.. Thanks buddy ❤❤

Hello @@zachall9539 I have got over this issue. I now use an "ezcoo" box (2) from Amazon. The transmitter box connects to my my Desk Top via USB. The file(s) are then sent from the biox via Cat 6 to a receiver box in my other room. In this box I have a External SSD drive plugged in. I can send a 3GB file in less than a minute. When I'm ready, I unplug the SSD from the "ezcoo receiver box and plug it into the Lap Top and copy the data over. It's very quick and does a good job every time. This ezcoo box can accomodate 4 external drives. I have had 4 drives connected and the performance is still just as good.

The HP doesn't have a port to accommodate the LAN cable that has the cable endings like those shown on the video, whilst the ASUS does.

Hi! Thank you very much - I have 2 mini computers and want to use one for file storage to keep the other one running fast but still be able to access the files & this seems easy enough for me to be able to do without being an expert (hopefully). I have a quick question: I only have one monitor, keyboard & mouse so I'm wondering if there's an easy way to connect the 2 computers they way you demonstrated using the same monitor, keyboard & mouse without having to unplug everything and move them back and forth each time?

@ipMalik I have a very important question: would this still work if we “turn off public sharing”? I ask because I worry about if I am doing this tutorial while connected to public WiFi.
@@MathCuriousity If you run a LAN cable from the donut shop to another PC, it will be the same. In this case, it is not the Wi-Fi that provides access, but the network settings and the LAN cable
@@ipMalik yes I understand this but I’m asking you a VERY SPECIFIC QUESTION: if I am on public wifi, performing this experiment with another computer using lan line between both - but I am ALSO on public wifi (say I’m doing your experiment but ALSO on public WiFi), is it safe to “share public folder” and “make network discoverable” ?
I am following the same setup as this video, a windows 10 computer connected to a windows 11. Trying to move as much data as possible to the 11 computer. I followed the directions and the 2 computers see each other, but only through the shortcuts, nothing appears under "network" in explorer. Also the only user that appears is "public", which means everything needs to be moved to the public folder before I can move it to the other computer, adding an extra step. Is there a way to avoid this?
You can only move files through the public folder, and if you are currently connecting only through shortcuts, and nothing is displayed in Explorer, then this problem can constantly appear in Windows. PCs can appear in Explorer, they can disappear again.
It worked just fine. I got a 10g card for my seedbox, and my mobo has one 1g and one 10g port, so instead of getting an expensive switch/router, I tried to use an ethernet cable directly. From PC1 (seedbox with regular ssd and hdd) to PC2 (with NVMe) it's fast, but still limited to read speed and write from PC1. Still, less traffic to the router and won't get hangouts from transferring now. Only thing I would add, is to wait a little bit, and deactivate/activate the controller once, sometimes it takes a little bit to figure it all out.
If your burned-out laptop won't turn on, then there's no way... You may be able to open the bottom cover of the laptop using the video tutorial on RUclips, then disconnect the SATA and power cables from the drive and remove it from the laptop. After that, you can connect this drive to your desktop computer and transfer files to your computer, and this will not be difficult. Or you can use a USB drive adapter to connect this drive to another computer, and so on..
Both my Windows 11 Laptops do not have LAN port. But both the PCs have C Type USB port. How to use the C Type USB ports on both the laptops to connect with each other without using internet for file transfer?
This is not a simple question.. Most likely in this case you can transfer data using a special cable and software For example: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D79Q4PDL?language=en_US&linkCode=sl1&linkId=9cb9aa9d644453ed94df3da843e0789c&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&tag=tech-takes-04-20
I carefully copied the ip address and dedault gateway for both pc s. Did the sharing settings, restarted both. Now pc 1 has an ethernet connection named network and pc 2 has an ethernet connection named network 2. Also when going back into internet protocol version 4 properties and trying to hit ok the following message pops up : warning multiple default gateways are intended to provide redundancy to a single network (such as intranet or the internet) . Both pc s have windows 11 pro
@@ipMalik Thanks for the reply. So, one has to be wireless, right? Then, for the best security, I'm guessing the internet should be hardwired and the network could be wireless. What do you think? OR, could I get a couple of USB>Ethernet adapters and "create" an extra LAN port on each computer? If so, I'd leave the LAN cables for the internet alone, and be back to networking the computers with a cable the way you show. Hmm.
@@timberwolf7341 Yes, in my opinion this scheme is quite real, but I have not tried to do this and therefore I do not have an exact answer. Perhaps you will find such a solution on the Internet...
I've added the ip numbers in the small window, but after restarting i couldn't connect to the web. Yet up till now it was connected. After reverting to no numbers, it worked again. Before i could connect two PCs, but after changing the internet provider (and using their modem) i don't have connection between the two computers. I've to properly check it out... 😢
In my video, I said that when using a LAN cable for a local network, there will be no Internet, and in order to resume connecting to the Internet, you need to return all the settings to their original state and connect the Internet cable to the computer.
If you connect two computers with a cable and at that moment there is no Internet connection, what kind of security breach are you talking about? After all, you will not connect the attacker's PC 2 computer to your PC 1 computer with a cable.
Without a router, neither host can even communicate with that DNS address. More simply, you don't even need a DNS address (or even a default gateway) in this scenario.
With the settings shown in my video, only two computers by mutual agreement can access each other's data, and only those folders that are configured to allow file sharing, PC 1 cannot access data in other folders of PC 2 that are not configured to share, and vice versa. Other PCs by mutual agreement can also connect to the network cable, using the same settings and a splitter, and access and share data from folders configured for shared access. But I don't understand how unknown and third-party computers can access data from these computers without permission, using only public Wi-Fi, without exchanging special settings.
@@ipMalik I’m asking you (as a beginner), is it safe for me to be ON PUBLIC WIFI and “share public folder” while performing your experiment with my two computers ?!
@@MathCuriousity I have already told you everything about this. These settings for data exchange are only for a LAN cable connection, for exchange in a local network using Wi-Fi, other settings are needed. If you are afraid of intruders getting into your shared folders, then do not put secret data in these folders, the publication of which can harm you.
I followed a similar method and it worked, but when I took lan cable out of router and plugged into laptop for downloading a file, the laptop showed 'No internet' inspite of internet being available. I had to reset the adapter to use wired connection from my router.
I am trying to connect my old Win10 computer to my new Win11 computer and be able move most files and folders from OLD to NEW. Will this setup work or is it possible?
@@ipMalik I'm not sure what is going wrong, but I have gone through your full video 3 times, and entered everything as shown. When I try to click on "C" under network on computer #1 (Win 11), I get the error message "Windows cannot access \\COMPUTER NAME\C where I put my actual computer name in. When looking at the network listings on Computer #1, my computer #2 only shows 3 folders. When I go into file explorer on computer #2, the "network" listing only shows computer #2, and only the same 3 folders. I can't see computer #1 from #2 file explorer network. Hope that makes sense.
@@brucejohnson5568 What can I say about your comment: I made this video on 2 computers, Windows 11 Pro is installed on the new PC, Windows 10 Pro is installed on the old PC, I tested this method several times, always without problems, and only after that I posted the video tutorial on RUclips. Usually problems arise if one of the steps to do something wrong.. Try step by step to return all the changes on two computers to the original settings, restart the PC and go all the way again from the very beginning, and it is most convenient to do this step by step following the video, that is, pause the video at each step, enter new settings on the PC and then run the next step in the video - so you can achieve the result.
Every computer or laptop has a port for connecting a LAN cable to a LAN connector for Internet access. A cable is inserted into the same place to create a local network.
@@ipMalik Hard disk failed. Won't boot the OS (Windows 10). Second machine is a Windows 11 machine. I'm trying to access my files from the W10 machine and bring them over to the W11 machine. But b/c the W10 machine won't boot, I can't make the network configurations on that one. Any ideas?
@@AnotherPlanetsHell If Windows 10 does not boot, then it is not possible to create a local network with another PC. To transfer the necessary files from a Windows 10 PC, you can use several methods. 1. If this happens with desktop PCs (it can also be done on laptops, but it will be more difficult), the easiest way is to remove the hard drive with Windows from the computer and connect it to a computer with Windows 11, then boot the PC with Windows 11 and transfer the necessary files from the disk to the computer with Windows 11. 2. On a PC with Windows 11, create a bootable USB flash drive with the Hiren's BootCD PE program (this program is a portable Windows 10 with a set of applications for resuscitating computers), boot the PC with Windows 10 from this flash drive, transfer files to this USB flash drive, then transfer files from this flash drive to a PC with Windows 11. Making such a flash drive is not at all difficult, here is a video about it: ruclips.net/video/7t0-5Wl1CX0/видео.html The first part of this video shows how to do it bootable flash drive and how to reset the local account password using this flash drive, the second part of the video shows how to transfer files from a computer to this flash drive. 3. Create a portable Windows on an external drive, boot a broken PC from portable Windows and transfer files from the PC to the external drive: ruclips.net/video/cxwjU3h4YTM/видео.html
Perhaps with a crossed LAN cable you will have more speed, also the speed depends on the power of the CPU and memory drives on two PCs. My PC-1 and PC-2 have SSDs connected.
@@ipMalik its from nvme drive to another nvme drive so its probably the lan cable. it only show 100mbps on the ethernet status, it probably just cat5. ima gonna search for better cable tomorrow.

Any address is fine. Usually you should choose from a private address range, but in this case it really doesn't matter because there are only two hosts. Ultimately, the connection will use layer 2 MAC addresses to communicate. However, networks in general also need to be routed to external networks, which is why things start with IP addresses. Once these two hosts determine that they are on the same network, they send out an ARP to determine each other's MAC address to directly communicate with each other.
Apparently one of the PCs has a Microsoft account and that’s why the problem arose. Log into Windows with a local account and there will be no problem.
"Click this one", without giving a name. The screen is blurred and the print very small. Which one? Your and explanations are good but this video and other have step location problems.

Open Settings, then open the "Accounts" tab, and look at the top in the middle which account you have, local or Microsoft. If you have Microsoft, then a little lower open the “Your data” tab and click “Sign in with a local account instead.” There will be no problems with a local account.

Thank you so much! I'm changing computers bit i don't wanna buy an external hard drive or a cloud storage subscription just to move my files
do you restart both computers?
Thanks, it worked. Simple tutorial.
Hi! Thank you very much - I have 2 mini computers and want to use one for file storage to keep
the other one running fast but still be able to access the files & this seems easy enough for me to be able to do without being an expert (hopefully). I have a quick question: I only have one monitor, keyboard & mouse so I'm wondering if there's an easy way to connect the 2 computers they way you demonstrated using the same monitor, keyboard & mouse without having to unplug everything and move them back and forth each time?
Hello!
Yes, this can be done - search the Internet for a suitable solution:

Do you not need a RJ45 crossover LAN cable to use it this way? not the standered Lan cable
Modern computers no longer require a crossover network cable; a regular LAN cable is sufficient😊
@@ipMalik Thank You great to know
@@NeilHodgsonDARKHOURS Ok!
Worked well, but the speed is not that great. Maybe that's related to my cable
The speed also depends on the disks on two computers.
On two of my PCs, both drives are SSD.
@@ipMalik ahh mine was HDD. That's why it was showing 1mb/sec
@@Dylan_Leo Yes, HDD is slower than SSD
@ipMalik I have a very important question: would this still work if we “turn off public sharing”? I ask because I worry about if I am doing this tutorial while connected to public WiFi.
The settings for this type of connection will only allow access to data for two PCs.
@@ipMalik so if I am on a public WiFi at donut shop and I do this, and do what you said to share public folder, I am safe?
Hello?
@@MathCuriousity If you run a LAN cable from the donut shop to another PC, it will be the same.
In this case, it is not the Wi-Fi that provides access, but the network settings and the LAN cable
@@ipMalik yes I understand this but I’m asking you a VERY SPECIFIC QUESTION: if I am on public wifi, performing this experiment with another computer using lan line between both - but I am ALSO on public wifi (say I’m doing your experiment but ALSO on public WiFi), is it safe to “share public folder” and “make network discoverable” ?
Thanks, friend. I was looking for it.
I cant use static ip whats the other option?
that was very clear for me
Are you using a normal LAN cable or a crossover cable...big difference.
Crossover cables are not used anymore
You're not wrong, but most interfaces have been Auto MDI-X for a very long time.
@@userverse2645 I used it between laptops with Windows 10 and Windows 11. Works perfectly
Create Shortcut
The file \\PC-2 cannot be found.
Please do the troubleshooting
I am following the same setup as this video, a windows 10 computer connected to a windows 11. Trying to move as much data as possible to the 11 computer. I followed the directions and the 2 computers see each other, but only through the shortcuts, nothing appears under "network" in explorer. Also the only user that appears is "public", which means everything needs to be moved to the public folder before I can move it to the other computer, adding an extra step. Is there a way to avoid this?
You can only move files through the public folder, and if you are currently connecting only through shortcuts, and nothing is displayed in Explorer, then this problem can constantly appear in Windows.
PCs can appear in Explorer, they can disappear again.
Really appreciate this,thank you!
Ок🙂
Great help!
It worked just fine. I got a 10g card for my seedbox, and my mobo has one 1g and one 10g port, so instead of getting an expensive switch/router, I tried to use an ethernet cable directly. From PC1 (seedbox with regular ssd and hdd) to PC2 (with NVMe) it's fast, but still limited to read speed and write from PC1. Still, less traffic to the router and won't get hangouts from transferring now.
Only thing I would add, is to wait a little bit, and deactivate/activate the controller once, sometimes it takes a little bit to figure it all out.
Ok!
Thank you!
Ok!
how to open or asscess a burned laptop if i want to move the whole hard drive
If your burned-out laptop won't turn on, then there's no way...
You may be able to open the bottom cover of the laptop using the video tutorial on RUclips, then disconnect the SATA and power cables from the drive and remove it from the laptop.
After that, you can connect this drive to your desktop computer and transfer files to your computer, and this will not be difficult.
Or you can use a USB drive adapter to connect this drive to another computer, and so on..
Exactly 🙂🔥👍💯
Ок 🙂
It's not working, I've tried every video I can find and it just refuses to connect even tho I follow the video perfectly 😮💨
Both my Windows 11 Laptops do not have LAN port. But both the PCs have C Type USB port. How to use the C Type USB ports on both the laptops to connect with each other without using internet for file transfer?
This is not a simple question..
Most likely in this case you can transfer data using a special cable and software
For example:
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D79Q4PDL?language=en_US&linkCode=sl1&linkId=9cb9aa9d644453ed94df3da843e0789c&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&tag=tech-takes-04-20
I carefully copied the ip address and dedault gateway for both pc s. Did the sharing settings, restarted both. Now pc 1 has an ethernet connection named network and pc 2 has an ethernet connection named network 2. Also when going back into internet protocol version 4 properties and trying to hit ok the following message pops up : warning multiple default gateways are intended to provide redundancy to a single network (such as intranet or the internet) . Both pc s have windows 11 pro
Can i do in multiple computers?
Because i teach 8 students and i want share my screen to thier comouters?
Can i doit???
Yes, sure!
Type in search of the Internet "How to divide the Internet into several devices" and find a suitable option for yourself.
can you play games offline this way?
thx
Ok!
thank you!
With these ports being used to network, how do you connect both computers to the internet router?
At the moment when you connect two PCs with an Internet cable, it is impossible to connect these computers to the Internet.
@@ipMalik Thanks for the reply. So, one has to be wireless, right? Then, for the best security, I'm guessing the internet should be hardwired and the network could be wireless. What do you think?
OR, could I get a couple of USB>Ethernet adapters and "create" an extra LAN port on each computer? If so, I'd leave the LAN cables for the internet alone, and be back to networking the computers with a cable the way you show. Hmm.
@@timberwolf7341 Yes, in my opinion this scheme is quite real, but I have not tried to do this and therefore I do not have an exact answer.
Perhaps you will find such a solution on the Internet...
First computer's connection is still: Unidentified Network.
Same, though as I was just about to yeet it, it showed up, maybe after a minute or so

Hello!
Most likely there is an error in one of the settings, try to carefully check all settings on both PCs.
Is this connection created using a lan cable or a cross cable?
Usé un cable de red, hoy en día en la mayoría de los casos no es necesario un cable cruzado para tal conexión.
@@ipMalik could be helpful to address that in future videos when appropriate. And maybe a very short explanation of why.
@@ipMalik English please?
@@tnndll4294 I used a network cable, today in most cases a crossover cable is not necessary for such a connection.
I've added the ip numbers in the small window, but after restarting i couldn't connect to the web. Yet up till now it was connected. After reverting to no numbers, it worked again.
Before i could connect two PCs, but after changing the internet provider (and using their modem) i don't have connection between the two computers.
I've to properly check it out... 😢
In my video, I said that when using a LAN cable for a local network, there will be no Internet, and in order to resume connecting to the Internet, you need to return all the settings to their original state and connect the Internet cable to the computer.
This is a security concern, your DNS does not need to be set to that IP address. Please explain.
If you connect two computers with a cable and at that moment there is no Internet connection, what kind of security breach are you talking about?
After all, you will not connect the attacker's PC 2 computer to your PC 1 computer with a cable.
Without a router, neither host can even communicate with that DNS address. More simply, you don't even need a DNS address (or even a default gateway) in this scenario.
question and all you need is a simple ethernet cable? i ask couse i knew that the cable suppose up to know it have to be reversed on the one side
Yes, a regular network cable is suitable for modern PCs.
Thank you ❤️
Does Straight through vs. Cross over cabling matters?
For fairly modern computers, this does not matter.
I connected a regular straight cable to a 2014 computer and everything worked without problems.
Some will require a crossover cable others will switch in the nic.
True enough. But most things are Auto MDI-X for 10+ years. The chances of finding such an old interface is quite low nowadays.
I was told if i am on public wifi, it is dangeorus to do what you suggest “share public folder”…..can you explain why its safe?
With the settings shown in my video, only two computers by mutual agreement can access each other's data, and only those folders that are configured to allow file sharing, PC 1 cannot access data in other folders of PC 2 that are not configured to share, and vice versa.
Other PCs by mutual agreement can also connect to the network cable, using the same settings and a splitter, and access and share data from folders configured for shared access.
But I don't understand how unknown and third-party computers can access data from these computers without permission, using only public Wi-Fi, without exchanging special settings.
@@ipMalik I’m asking you (as a beginner), is it safe for me to be ON PUBLIC WIFI and “share public folder” while performing your experiment with my two computers ?!
@@MathCuriousity I have already told you everything about this. These settings for data exchange are only for a LAN cable connection, for exchange in a local network using Wi-Fi, other settings are needed.
If you are afraid of intruders getting into your shared folders, then do not put secret data in these folders, the publication of which can harm you.
It worked perfectly!
I followed a similar method and it worked, but when I took lan cable out of router and plugged into laptop for downloading a file, the laptop showed 'No internet' inspite of internet being available. I had to reset the adapter to use wired connection from my router.
This is fine.
I am trying to connect my old Win10 computer to my new Win11 computer and be able move most files and folders from OLD to NEW. Will this setup work or is it possible?
Yes, of course it will work!
@@ipMalik I'm not sure what is going wrong, but I have gone through your full video 3 times, and entered everything as shown. When I try to click on "C" under network on computer #1 (Win 11), I get the error message "Windows cannot access \\COMPUTER NAME\C where I put my actual computer name in. When looking at the network listings on Computer #1, my computer #2 only shows 3 folders. When I go into file explorer on computer #2, the "network" listing only shows computer #2, and only the same 3 folders. I can't see computer #1 from #2 file explorer network. Hope that makes sense.
@@brucejohnson5568 What can I say about your comment:
I made this video on 2 computers, Windows 11 Pro is installed on the new PC, Windows 10 Pro is installed on the old PC, I tested this method several times, always without problems, and only after that I posted the video tutorial on RUclips.
Usually problems arise if one of the steps to do something wrong..
Try step by step to return all the changes on two computers to the original settings, restart the PC and go all the way again from the very beginning, and it is most convenient to do this step by step following the video, that is, pause the video at each step, enter new settings on the PC and then run the next step in the video - so you can achieve the result.
@@ipMalik Thank you for your reply. I will continue trying.
@@brucejohnson5568 Ок
Its a pain to setup but it works😅
Ok😊
what if my pc does not have a part where to put the lan cable
Every computer or laptop has a port for connecting a LAN cable to a LAN connector for Internet access.
A cable is inserted into the same place to create a local network.
Is it possible to use a Double Lan connector in case we also need internet on one PC?
In this method, it is possible to use either a local network using a cable or the Internet, but it is impossible to do both at the same time.
Thankyou

How do you do this when one of the computers won't boot but still turns on?
Please tell me in more detail what the problem is with the second computer.
@@ipMalik Hard disk failed. Won't boot the OS (Windows 10). Second machine is a Windows 11 machine. I'm trying to access my files from the W10 machine and bring them over to the W11 machine. But b/c the W10 machine won't boot, I can't make the network configurations on that one. Any ideas?
@@AnotherPlanetsHell If Windows 10 does not boot, then it is not possible to create a local network with another PC.
To transfer the necessary files from a Windows 10 PC, you can use several methods.
1. If this happens with desktop PCs (it can also be done on laptops, but it will be more difficult), the easiest way is to remove the hard drive with Windows from the computer and connect it to a computer with Windows 11, then boot the PC with Windows 11 and transfer the necessary files from the disk to the computer with Windows 11.
2. On a PC with Windows 11, create a bootable USB flash drive with the Hiren's BootCD PE program (this program is a portable Windows 10 with a set of applications for resuscitating computers), boot the PC with Windows 10 from this flash drive, transfer files to this USB flash drive, then transfer files from this flash drive to a PC with Windows 11.
Making such a flash drive is not at all difficult, here is a video about it:
ruclips.net/video/7t0-5Wl1CX0/видео.html
The first part of this video shows how to do it bootable flash drive and how to reset the local account password using this flash drive, the second part of the video shows how to transfer files from a computer to this flash drive.
3. Create a portable Windows on an external drive, boot a broken PC from portable Windows and transfer files from the PC to the external drive:
ruclips.net/video/cxwjU3h4YTM/видео.html
It's not working it says the second computer short cut not found
So i tried this and its works but the data transfer are so slow. about 11mbps
any ways to fix this? (im using normal lan cable)
Perhaps with a crossed LAN cable you will have more speed, also the speed depends on the power of the CPU and memory drives on two PCs.
My PC-1 and PC-2 have SSDs connected.
@@ipMalik its from nvme drive to another nvme drive so its probably the lan cable.
it only show 100mbps on the ethernet status, it probably just cat5.
ima gonna search for better cable tomorrow.

I don't know why this problem appeared..
Network error "Windows cannot access \\" did all sort of thing, using crap windows11 v24h2. Everything was working just fine with windows10 v22h2.
What determine the ip address used? And why use ip address?
Any address is fine. Usually you should choose from a private address range, but in this case it really doesn't matter because there are only two hosts.
Ultimately, the connection will use layer 2 MAC addresses to communicate. However, networks in general also need to be routed to external networks, which is why things start with IP addresses. Once these two hosts determine that they are on the same network, they send out an ARP to determine each other's MAC address to directly communicate with each other.
And that’s what he showed here or. No?
I cant enter my first pc because need username and password. So how sir? First pc using windows 10 pro
Apparently one of the PCs has a Microsoft account and that’s why the problem arose.
Log into Windows with a local account and there will be no problem.

Open Settings, then open the "Accounts" tab, and look at the top in the middle which account you have, local or Microsoft.
If you have Microsoft, then a little lower open the “Your data” tab and click “Sign in with a local account instead.”
There will be no problems with a local account.
I am not getting the transfer speed you got there
The data transfer rate depends on:
1. CPU speed on PC 1 and PC 2.
2. Storage media on PC 1 and PC 2.
On my PC 1 and PC 2, the storage media is SSD.
just use a usb host brige cable
