Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have 2 questions regarding the above:

1. Is it necessary to be a part of a 'Workgroup?'

2. If 'Yes,' what is the most ideal and safest 'Workgroup,' for a Personal Home laptop?

Shall wait for a reply.

Regards

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

 

To get the answer to this question,  the Work group is Microsoft's term for a peer-to-peer local area network. Computers running Microsoft operating systems in the same work group may share files, printers, or Internet connection. As we have limited support boundaries in the support community as of now. I would request you to reach out to our HP Smart Friend Support and our Support Engineers should be able to sort this out.
