There are still issues but networking and sharing resources within a network isn’t quite the painful experience it once was. If you got a network up and running on those earlier operating systems, in fact, you became really reluctant to change anything whatsoever, for fear that your precariously-functioning network would fall apart again.įortunately, Windows 10 has greatly improved that process. Up until Windows 8.1, in fact, networking in Windows could fairly be described as a nightmare, presenting problem after problem. Older versions of Windows supported local area networks, all the way back to Windows for Workgroups 3.11 in 1993.
