Why each option
In a Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) setup, configuring mapped drives is a common and practical step to provide easy access to shared network resources from a new PC.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is a complex enterprise-level solution for hosting desktop environments on servers, which is typically overkill and not common for a basic SOHO setup.
In a SOHO environment, shared resources like network-attached storage (NAS) or shared folders on another computer are common. Mapped drives provide convenient, persistent access to these network locations by assigning them a local drive letter, simplifying file access for the user.
Wireless WAN refers to cellular data connectivity, which is not a standard PC configuration step for a SOHO internal network, though a PC might connect to a Wi-Fi (WLAN) router.
Joining a PC to a domain implies an Active Directory environment, which is typically found in larger business networks, not usually in a simple SOHO setup that often uses workgroups.
