regarding windows 10 home group options

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. Let me assist you.

These may be the below possible reasons of you facing the issue. Please go through the points.

• If a Home group already exists on your network, you'll be asked to join it instead of creating a new one.
• If your PC belongs to a domain, you can join a home group but you can't create one. You can get to libraries and devices on other home group PCs, but you can't share your own libraries and devices with the home group.

If both the above scenarios doesn’t imply, then I would suggest you try the below steps.

Steps:

• 
  Switch to an Administrator user account, in case you are not using one.

  Run a Home group Troubleshooter to fix the issue.
