In Windows 7, the Home Private , Work, or Public network has a clickable link that will let you change it click that link to see a picture - but in Windows 10, that blue link is not there anymore. Changing the network location from public to private in older editions of Windows 10 means used to mean having to jump through hoops - but now it is relatively simple.
If you do not see the "Change connection properties" link mentioned in Step 2 above, and are unable to click on "Public or "Private" on the proceeding page, it likely means you're using an old version of Windows In that case, you can manually set any connection that is Public to Private using an administrative PowerShell.

Home network settings should be "private". Anything outside of the home which is not on a secured network would be "public". A "work" network is of course used in a work environment.

If you are not familiar with these profiles, I encourage you to read this section so you have a better understanding of the purpose of these profiles before learning how to switch between them. What are Network Profiles? Windows computers have three types of network profiles: Private , Domain , and Guest or Public. Private A private profile is meant for a computer at home or work connected to a private, internal network.

These settings are determined by the network administrators and depend on how your network is configured.
The domain profile is only applicable when a computer has joined a Windows domain, which is usually the case in a business environment. Did you notice that I used the word applicable, rather than visible? However, you can go to the Control Panel and configure a couple of options under Change advanced sharing options for your domain profile. Guest or Public A guest or public profile is designed for public networks that are not secure. This profile is used on mobile devices for wireless networks at a coffee shop or an Internet cafe.
As mentioned earlier, for Guest or Public networks you should turn off network discovery as well as file and print sharing, as follows. The screen shots in this article are from Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows Server member servers.
