    Joining a HomeGroup


    I have been trying to join 2 laptops to a HomeGroup set up and there is no option showing to join. There are several guides that I've seen and all show options that do not appear on either laptop I'm trying to join with. Supposedly ther is a HomeGroup option within the network setting but this is not appearing and searching for it comes up with nothing.


    Where do I find this elusive HomeGroup option that allows me to join?

    :)

    • Did you receive any error messages when you tried to join the homegroup?
