Share photos

Did you know you can easily share photos wirelessly between Windows 10 PCs using either a WiFi or Bluetooth connection?  Here’s how. First, you’ll need to turn on Nearby Sharing on both devices. In the search box type Change shared experience settings and click on the result.

You’ll be able to click the drop-down arrow and choose between sharing with any Windows 10 device nearby or only devices registered to you. You can also choose where those shared photos go. The default option is Downloads, but if you prefer somewhere else, just click on Change and select a location.
