Join a homegroup

After someone on your network creates a homegroup, the next step is to join it. You will need the homegroup password, which you can get from the person who created the homegroup. When you join a homegroup, all user accounts on your computer become members of the homegroup.

To join a homegroup

Follow these steps on the computer that you want to add to the homegroup:

1. Open HomeGroup by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, typing homegroup in the search box, and then clicking HomeGroup.

2. Click Join now, and then complete the wizard.

Note

• If you don't see the Join now button, there might not be a homegroup available. Make sure that someone has created a homegroup first. Or you can choose to create a homegroup yourself.
