Windows 10: Networking

This step-by-step course covers how to connect a Windows 10 machine to a network, whether the network is a home network or a large enterprise network, and how to manage network settings. Instructions for establishing connections, configuring network settings, and selecting firewall rules are each broken down into logical steps to enable a straightforward setup process. Additionally, several troubleshooting options are demonstrated to ensure you can identify and resolve network connectivity issues.

Author and professor Joli Ballew shows you how to get connected, which settings to use to access different resources, and how to keep your system secure. She explains the security implications of different settings, so you can make informed decisions that help protect devices when using public networks. She also helps get the most out of the Window 10 sharing center. Lastly, she explains the native firewall rules, how to create your own inbound and outbound rules, and how to troubleshoot and modify your network connection.
