Question

Can I do this in Windows 10?

Community Answer

No; however, if you have Windows 10 Professional or Ultimate, you can use the MSG command instead. NET SEND is only for Windows XP and earlier, as the screenshots show.

Question

Does this require the internet?

Community Answer

It depends. There are two ways to send a message. The first is to an internet computer (for example, computer.example.com), which does require internet (and some networking skills). The second is to send it to a network computer (000.000.0.00), which requires the network.

Yes and no. Yes, you can use the MSG command instead, and no, the NET SEND command was removed after Windows XP/Vista.
