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.

Refer the below steps to run a Home group Troubleshooter.

Press Windows + X keys on the keyboard and select
Control Panel

Type Troubleshooting in the search bar on the
Control Panel.

Click on View all on the left navigation pane. Click on
Home group.

Click on Advanced on the Home group troubleshooter dialog box and click on
Run as administrator (Enter the credentials if required).

Click on Next and follow onscreen instruction complete the
Home group troubleshooter

Last member (Adult) unable to leave Family group

Why not set up an admin account with documented password, add it to the family group? Then you can take your account out, and still have (or leave) an admin/family group access account available. Just a thought/suggestion...
HTH,

OneDrive family and group sharing now available

We have all been adjusting to the new ways we stay in touch, share, teach, and learn. As many of us have made the shift to working and learning from home, we’re relying more than ever on digital sharing and collaboration. Now, Microsoft OneDrive is introducing a new time-saving, frictionless way to share files with a predefined family or friend group.

OneDrive has always made it easy to share docs, photos, videos, albums, and folders. But until now, sharing to a group of people meant typing in the names of all the people you wanted to share with. Today, we’re simplifying that process with one-click sharing to family and groups.

Once you predefine your family or friend group, you’ll be able to share a photo, album, or important document to your group with one click.

Family and group sharing is available in OneDrive for the web and included in all free and paid OneDrive consumer plans, as well in Microsoft 365 Personal and Family plans. We expect it to become available on OneDrive sync client, Mac, and directly from Word, Excel, and PowerPoint by mid-2021.

To use family sharing, have your Microsoft account login and password at hand and follow these instructions:

1. First you will need to set up your family or a friend group:

To set up your family, go to family.microsoft.com, then select Create a family group and follow the directions. Note: All members of the group need a Microsoft account, and each will need to accept your invitation to the group to access it. (You can also set up a family group on Xbox or with the Family Safety app.)

To set up a friend group, see the article how to create an Outlook.com group. Groups can be family, friends, classmates, your kids’ sports league, your sports league, old college buddies, new game night pals—anyone you want to stay connected with. Note: you will need a free or paid Outlook account.

2. Go to the OneDrive page and sign in with your Microsoft account (or your Outlook.com, Live.com, Hotmail, or MSN account).
3. Select My files or Photos on the left pane.
4. Pick the file or folder you want to share by selecting the circle in the upper corner of the item, then select Share at the top of the page.
5. Select Anyone with the link can edit.
6. In the Enter a name or email address field, type “Family” or the name of your group (i.e., Soccer Team). When you type “Family,” OneDrive will give you the option to share with specific members by surfacing their names, or you can select Your family to share with your entire family.

7. Add an optional message and then send then share the file/folder.

You can learn more about family and group sharing here. And as always feel free to send us your suggestions for making OneDrive even better on UserVoice.
