I want to transfer files from work PC to my laptop,for this I bought a
crossover cable,both computers have ethernet cards.

I want to learn how to make that connection between these 2 different
Windows editions...

Kalem,

You started right - Ethernet cable, and Ethernet cards on both computers.
Assuming that both Ethernet cards, and the cable work, you're halfway there.

Once you have physical connectivity, activate the Guest account properly, and
setup a share on the work computer.

If you have any problems, provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from
each computer, and we can diagnose them. Read this article, and linked
articles, and follow instructions precisely:
