Create a homegroup

HomeGroup makes it easy to share pictures, music, documents, videos, and printers with other people on your home network. When you set up a computer with this version ofWindows, a homegroup is created automatically. But you can also create a homegroup by following these steps:

To create a homegroup

1. Open HomeGroup by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, typinghomegroup in the search box, and then clicking HomeGroup.
2. On the Share with other home computers running Windows 7 page, click Create a homegroup, and then follow the instructions.

   Notes

   • If a homegroup already exists on your network, Windows will ask if you would like to join it instead of creating a new one.
   • If your computer belongs to a domain, you can join a homegroup but you can't create one. You can access files and resources on other homegroup computers, but you can't share your own files and resources with the homegroup.
