Hello.
I have WiFi on my home PC.
On the Network Properties Option (Public or Private) I’m pretty sure selecting Private would be best for me, but I’m not sure.
I don’t want any neighbors being able to “discover” my PC, and have no desire for file sharing. I’m thinking the “Private” selection would make sense and be the choice.
Do I have that right?
Why would anyone operating on a home PC select a Public Network option.
Thanks,
Overwhelmed

Hello
Please have a look at this information concerning Network Properties: HERE and HERE
I use a Private Network myself with my PCs.
I think I understand the difference now, Ssherjj.
Thank you very much for the links and the response.

Oh you are most welcome Overwhelmed! 
Forgot to mention that that was a great question for a lot of folks who may not know or understand Network Properties.
Have a great day!
