BOB4 Report post Posted March 12, 2018 I have a laptop and desktop. In the laptop I created a home group and have the password from the laptop. I went to the desktop top and it said it sees a home group and asked if I would like to join. I put in the laptop password but after a few minutes I am told the desk top cannot see home group. How to fix? What is the difference between work group and home group plus which is easier to use.? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nigsy Report post Posted March 13, 2018 Didn't MS kill off homegroup in windows 10? That maybe an issue if any laptop etc is running win10. Homegroup if you are running W7 / Win8 (And 8.1) is an easy solution for sharing of files etc. Have a look at this for troubleshooting: https://helpdeskgeek.com/help-desk/windows-7-8-10-cannot-connect-to-homegroup/ The Windows 10 solution was to push everything into the cloud using one drive so users can access files etc from there. You then set up printer sharing as normal; or (and I advise against) sharing the individual folders themselves. Workgroup is a more complicated networking tool; hence why Homegroup was developed. https://www.lifewire.com/definition-of-workgroup-816285 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
