set up a hot-spot on a phone, don't need internet connection. connect both the PCs.

install 'dukto r6' on both pcs, open it,

computers should see each other and you can then transfer files.

the software is pretty simple. it can also be found on the windows store.

Or you could just make a network shared drive on one machine, then redirect to the machine in file explorer and drag files for both PCs to access. Easy.

i thought that too... my friends are also in the situation...

some cafes were forced to downgrade their desktops to previous version of windows, disable update, just to enable file sharing

That's very odd as it still works here, including on a brand new laptop I just had to move files to from my old one.

It was easier there though as I was logged in as my Microsoft account on both and just shared the Documents folder.  But both are still also able to access my Fedora Samba server fine with a different username and password from my Microsoft account.

What's even more strange is that I am on the latest update.

 

I do know of some governments and organizations that use a custom version of Windows that is managed. Might have something to do with that.
