I no longer have enough space on my laptop to install a certain game and therefore asked whether you have more space when you connect your laptop to your PC, e.g. Using a LAN carb. And is the data then transferred from the laptop to the PC or do you have to log in with your Microsoft account?
How big is your hard drive?
No, a LAN cable is there for an existing Internet connection and should only lead from the router to the computer for normal consumers and is there for an Internet connection as already mentioned.
Accordingly, you would have a. No more memory on your laptop by connecting your laptop to your computer via a LAN cable, nor would the data synchronize.
What I can offer you as a solution is an external hard drive.
Or I add you can share and share your data from one device to the other, and copy files from one device to the other with the correct configuration. But you're not expanding your memory
No, the memory does not grow. There are ways to get the connection.
An external hard drive would make sense.
You could mount a permanent network drive on a shared folder on your PC - this is basically a NAS principle. So that's actually possible. And then you can install your games on this network drive.
With Gigabit Ethernet you can effectively reach a maximum of 115 MB / s. This is slightly slower than local hard drives and far slower than SSD. So if you have no problem with games taking a little longer to load and save, give it a try. With only 100 Mbit / s Ethernet, I would rather leave it.
But that would still be an "exotic" solution for a game installation.
Have you 'mucked out' your hard drive? Cache flattened? Media outsourced to the cloud?
