You are very unlikely to get Public Static IP so that make sense. Better to always use DHCP for a laptop anyway. Far fewer issues.

After upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7 our PC's that have a static IP address switched from domain network to private network and disallow users network drive as well as group policy access. When we remove the static address it works however, we need to have them statically assigned. Is there any work around to fix this?<br />

Windows 10 Switches to private network when entering a static IP address.

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.
