I have one desktop and one laptop.
Running Windows 10.
I usually use my desktop, and I use laptop when there is power outage.
Desktop is connected to an ADSL modem using Ethernet.
Laptop uses Ethernet or WiFi, whichever is convenient.
I am able to share folders/files between two PCs.

I want to sync certain folders using the same LAN, how ?

Cant sync the hole PC(s), because Desktop has 1.5TB (SSD+HDD+HDD)storage and laptop has only 250GB (SSD)
