Is it possible to access the hard disks built into my PC from my laptop by cable?
Both windows? Same WORKGROUP
Yes both windows but what is workGroup?
If you want to exchange files directly between different PCs with Windows operating systems or if you want to share a printer that is connected to one of the PCs, then you do not only have to connect these PCs to each other via cable or WLAN. In addition, the devices must be logically linked to one another. The Windows operating system basically knows two different methods for this. For large networks operating a domain. Here a central server manages all users who are allowed to log into the PCs in a network and their access rights. For small networks, such as a home network, there's the so-called working group method. By assigning the PCs to one or more workgroups, logical connections are created. With https://www.dasheimnetzwerk.de/einrichten/Einrichten_OS_Win10/Kapitel_Win10_Datei_Freigabe.html, the PCs can then exchange files within a work group or use a shared printer. In contrast to a domain, workgroups and releases are set up decentrally on each individual computer.

This works when both devices are in a network. Alternatively, it works with a USB link cable
How do I still connect a smartphone to it?
