RAH44 · Dec 19, 2019

Have just installed Win 10 ot previously blank SSD, in place of Windows 7.

Can anyone point me to a clear description of how to set up a homegroup network in my new installation of windows 10?

When you create a HomeGroup using the PC device, does it appear on your Surface device?

We suggest that you check the network discovery of the HomeGroup that you have created if it is discoverable by other devices. You may change the settings by following these steps:

Open HomeGroup.

Select the settings you want.

If you need further assistance, feel free to ask us.

Procedure to setup Homegroup in Windows 10

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern in this regard.

Follow the below mentioned steps to setup HomeGroup in Windows 10.

Right-click on Start and select
Control Panel from the context menu.

Select
Network and Sharing center option, then click on the
HomeGroup at the bottom left fringe on the Network and Sharing Center window.

Click
Create a homegroup button. You see the list of files and devices that you would like to share within the HomeGroup.

On the drop down menu beside every item set the
level of permission of each item, then click Next once you are done.

You will be taken to the next step where you can see an
auto-generated password. If the computer need to participate in the HomeGroup then they require this password for authentication. You can also modify the password later. Tap the
Finish button.

Now join other PC into this HomeGroup, which you think should participate in the HomeGroup activities.

Keep us posted if you require further assistance.

I have tried all the suggestions on display on the internet, then i have read that later versions of W10 would not enable you to set up a homegroup.
