    Windows 10 Joining A Windows 7 HomeGroup


    So I am on Windows 10 now. Was on Windows 7 ultimate prior to upgrading. I have my NAS setup on my router upstairs but every so often it gets knocked offline (Not sure if that's the drive or network issue) but I was wondering if there was an easy way to join the homegroup that I setup originally with Windows 7 on my Windows 10 machine?

    Thanks

    :)

    It asks to Join the Home group after upgrading to Windows 10 even after configuring the Home group before upgrading the PC.

    I recently loaded Windows 10 over Windows 7. When I try to connect to the homegroup the homegroup option only allows for "Join Now" then asks for the "password" The problem is the PC the homegroup was started on is the PC I am on. I cannot get the password.
    So, the PC I need to join the homegroup on is the on Windows said started the homegroup and I cannot get the password. THERE ARE NO OTHER OPTIONS allowed except join the homegroup on this PC.

    So How do I correct this very frustrating problem?

    I cannot connect to 1 out of 6 computers to homegroup in windows 10

    I have 6 computers on my network. 3 of them are Windows 10 and 3 are Windows 7. 5 of them ( 2 Windows 10 and 3 Windows 7) are able to join the "Homegroup without any problem.

    But no mater what I do I am unable to get the last Windows 10 to join the Homegroup. All I get is a pop-up balloon that says:

    "X HomeGroup

    Windows can'tset up a homegroup on this computer"

    So what do I do next?
