How to Join a Homegroup on Your Windows 10 Laptop

By Nancy C. Muir  

When you set up a network on your Windows 10 laptop, you have to arrange to include each computer on the network in a Homegroup so that they can connect to each other, a single Internet connection, and shared hardware such as printers. 
If somebody has set up a Homegroup on another computer, you can join that network with a few steps.

Start by pressing, Win+I.

Click, Network & Internet.

With the Wi-Fi category selected on the left scroll down the right panel and 
click, Homegroup, click the Join Now button, and then click Next.

Click the various drop-down lists to choose what to share with the Homegroup on the network.

Click, Next and enter a Homegroup password. Click Next again to make your 
laptop part of that Homegroup.

To locate the password for the Homegroup, you need to sign in as a user with administrator status. Then, open the Start menu and choose, Settings → Network and Internet  → Homegroup. Click View or Print the Homegroup Password.
