In this video, I created a network of Windows 11 and retro PCs (Windows XP, Windows 98 SE and Windows 3.11). On the network, Windows 11 PC can push files to the shared folders of the retro PCs (eliminate the copying through USB, CD/DVD, floppy disks). Additionally, all retro PCs can access Internet through the Windows 11 PC.
