Windows 10: Homegroup is showing up on 1903 ?

huh what ? I had the idea that homegroup went away altogether. However I see I can give access to "homegroup" How do I determine if my computer belongs to a homegroup or ? Is there a place in the computer that will tie a familur thing to a homegroup like does my username that I use to login become associated with a homegroup now. ? Can I share a external drive or my other hard drive besides drive C with a homegroup. ? I go to that homegroup and it just does nothing.

:)
