Managing network connections
One of the most frustrating aspects of transitioning to a new Windows version is discovering that
important features have moved or gone missing. That’s especially true with these first Windows 10
releases, where settings are migrating from the classic Control Panel to the new Settings app.
The user-accessible knobs and levers for tweaking network connections are making that transition,
which means you’ll find significant pieces of functionality in the old-style Network And Sharing Center,
with some functions already migrated to the Networking tab of the Windows 10 Settings app. In some
cases, that means searching for the location of familiar management tools. A few options from older
Windows versions, such as the ability to view a network map or manually name a network, are temporarily
unavailable.
This section provides an overview of the tools you’ll need.
Figure 7-7 shows the familiar Network And Sharing Center, from which you can enable or disable
individual network adapters and inspect or change the properties of existing connections.
