Two Windows 10 PCs and a network printer are connected to the same home router. There is no dedicated server or domain controller on the network. Which configuration should you set on each PC so they can share files and the printer with one another without adding a server?
Configuring every computer to belong to the same Windows workgroup creates a peer-to-peer LAN in which each PC maintains its own accounts and can share printers and files. A Windows domain would require at least one domain controller. DNS is the Domain Name System used for name resolution, not for grouping PCs for resource sharing. A subnet mask is part of TCP/IP addressing and likewise does not establish sharing relationships.
