  1. Setting Up a HomeGroup for use in another location?


    I've got a HomeGroup at home, and currently have two other PCs that do not normally live here. I want to set them up in their own HomeGroup for use in another location. Is this possible?

    Failing that, if they join the current HomeGroup, what will happen when they are away from it?

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Homegroup problems

    I just upgraded two computers that were part of a Homegroup from Windows 7. Added a new computer that came with Windows 10. Now when I try to access the Homegroup and use the same password that was originally used, on each computer it says that the Homegroup
    was set up on another one. I am unable to either access the Homegroup with the password nor am I able to chnage the password. Every screen I get wants me to join the Homegroup. I can't even set up a new Homegroup.

  3. Homegroup setup won't accept password

    Hi Stephen,

    Network configuration settings and homegroup restrictions are some of the possible reasons why you are unable to set up a homegroup. For us to properly assist you, provide more details by answering these questions:

    • Which Windows 10 version are you using (Home/Pro)?
    • Have you tried setting up a homegroup using another computer aside from the one where you encountered the error?
    • Are there any third party security software or applications installed on your device?
    • Were you able to set up a homegroup before this happened?

    We will be waiting for your response so we can move forward to resolving your concern.
