Thunderbolt™ Share is a network utility published by Intel Corporation that lets two Windows 11 PCs equipped with Thunderbolt™ 4 or Thunderbolt™ 5 ports behave as a single extended workspace. Once a certified Thunderbolt cable is inserted, the application negotiates a peer-to-peer PCIe tunnel, presenting one machine’s keyboard, mouse, mass-storage, and up to two 4K displays to the other without additional dongles or switches. Typical scenarios include creative studios that need to drag 8K video timelines from a high-performance workstation to a review laptop in real time, financial traders who mirror order-book screens between office and home rigs, and engineers who debug code on a test-bed computer while keeping documentation open on a primary device; the software also supports file migration at effective PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds, turning a simple cable into a 32 Gbit/s ad-hoc network. Because the link is authenticated at the Thunderbolt controller level, the data path bypasses public Ethernet or Wi-Fi segments, maintaining the same DMA protection and memory-isolation standards defined in Intel’s VT-d specification. Version 1.1.64.87, the first public release, adds automatic resolution scaling for mixed-DPI monitors and improves hot-plug stability when displays are daisy-chained. The utility installs as a lightweight service that consumes under 40 MB of RAM and surfaces its controls inside the Windows 11 Settings panel, allowing users to toggle peripheral sharing, clipboard synchronization, and secure-input mode without rebooting. Thunderbolt™ Share is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are supplied through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest build and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
