I need a complete list of settings to make my Homegroup work.
I hope you don't get as confused as I am....
I have 3 win 10 computers, 1 HP 530-339 64 Bit, 1 Dell 530S 32 Bit and 1 Dell 560S 64 Bit. I need to let folks know I am a non-techie with an 85 year old slow brain.
When I bought the 560 I tried to set up a Homegroup, I was successful with the HP and the 530S (it was my Master). I did a lot of I'net searching and posting on every Forum I could find, made many changes but the 560S never joined, I should have sent it back! The HP and the 530S had a love affair and stayed faithful all those years.
I am getting ready to retire the 530S as one of our family members has moved away. I also bought a win 10 tablet and planned to share it on my Homegroup because I can't get used to the tiny keyboard, I could do all the data entry on one of the computers and share it with the tablet.
So, here I am with the 560S again deciding not to join. Since I am not very smart I replaced the 560S HDD with the 530S HDD and much to my surprise it worked, including the Homegroup, that is until I shut it down that night and restarted it in the morning, yup no Homegroup! Then I replaced the 530S HDD with the 560S HDD like it was before my testing. Golly, my dark cloud got bigger and darker and low and behold neither one can join the homegroup!
I compared the "network properties" on they are essentially the same for the 530S and 560S.
Can someone offer a lifeline or a complete list of all the required settings before the last 6 hairs fall from my head?
Thanks,
Old Don .
