    trying to join a homegroup with my new Dell XPS 15 Laptop

    Hi,

    There are different factors that can contribute to the concern why your computer is not able to join the HomeGroup properly. For us to resolve your concern kindly answer the questions below:

    • Aside from the error message you mentioned, were there any other error messages that showed up when you attempted to connect the laptop to the HomeGroup?
    • Are both devices on the same network? If they are, is this through a WiFi connection or LAN connection?

    As a initial recommendation, we suggest that to follow these steps to run the Windows built in troubleshooter:

    • Type Troubleshooting
      in the search box and hit enter.
    • Select the Troubleshooting app.
    • Select the view all option on the upper left corner.
    • Look for the Homegroup option from the list and select it.
    • Click Next to run the Troubleshooter.

    We look forward to your response once you complete the steps.
