  1. can't find homegroup or it's password windows 10


    All of the instructions that I seem to be able to find in reference to View (find) the password for a Homegroup give me instructions such as "1. Click Start & then click Control Panel"; "2. Click Network and Internet and then click HomeGroup"; 3. View or print the homegroup password" HOWEVER. when I do as instructed in #2, THERE IS NO SUCH OPTION AS "VIEW OR PRINT HOMEGROUP PASSWORD" so that answer is essentially useless on the computer on which the homegroup was created. On my Desktop and I was able to connect to my laptop a while ago but I need the password so I can also connect to my Surface but can't find the password to do so on me Desktop so I can.

    :)
