I can`t agree.

Windows Homegroup networking is so much more of a problem


Avoid homegroup networking and then networking with androids to
Windows PCs becomes easy:

If only, there are far too many settings which need to be checked
such as needing TCP/IP6 turned on (even if you aren't using it),
setting up file sharing and using the same credentials for all
connected devices before you can be sure windows10 machines will
even talk to each other never mind Android or Samba servers. Then
there are problems if you haven't set fixed IP addresses for each
machine. Forums are full of tales of woe from users just trying to
network a couple of Windows machines. And Homegroup is supposed to
be easy!
