How to Change Network Public to Private to Public in Windows PC

You can set your connection as public or private. This choice depends on where you are and what you want to do on that network. This article will show you the difference between a public and a private network and how to change the Windows 10 network to private when you're on a public one.

A private network is a trusted network at home or at work. Devices on the same network can see each other and can also share files and printers.

A public network is suitable for social places such as airport lounges and cafes with public Wi-Fi hotspots. Other devices on the network cannot see your computer, and file and printer sharing are turned off. Windows is stricter with security on public networks.
