Hello,
I have got some questions about this tutorial on EightForums:
http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/9837-network-location-set-private-public-windows-8-a.html
I have a home network, several PCs connected to a modem/router (all with Ethernet cables), with ADSL access.
One PC has got Windows 8.1, with network settings as "private network", with sharing ("find devices and content") turned on. I am thinking about turning it off, to increase security, since I don't need to share files an printers.
My questions:
1) There is no risk to damage Windows by turning sharing on or off, with that "find devices and content" option in Windows 8.1?
2) After changing the sharing settings, I do not need to change any settings in Windows Firewall, such as resetting it to default?
I think there should be no problem, but would like some confirmations.
Thanks.
