Can I join a Minecraft world of my friend's, if my friend does not have Live gold?

I wanna play with my friend, and he is in the same house as me to visit. I want to join his single-player Minecraft world, or he joins mine. It doesn't matter for us. I have a PC with Minecraft Windows 10 Edition, and he had an Xbox with Live Gold. It worked just fine when he had the Xbox Live gold, but now I want to know if I join HIS world, can I play with him, when he doesn't have Xbox Live gold?


Yes, you can play without him having live gold.
