| 1367447 | 2014-02-12 03:50:00 | I'm trying to figure out how to setup a Homegroup between two PCs. One is on Win8.1 64bit and the other is Win7 32bit. Is this possible or does the bit thing and the different O/S have a bearing? |

| 1367448 | 2014-02-12 03:51:00 | Turn it on on one. Join it on the other then type in the password. What version of Win8 and Win7 are installed? Only Premium/Pro/Ultimate/Enterprise of Win 7 support it (you can only create one with one of these versions) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1367449 | 2014-02-12 04:47:00 | If the homegroup doesn't work you can use conventional network settings. Homegroup can be a PITA sometimes. At the moment we have 8 computers running, all networked with OS's ranging from XP, Linux ( ubuntu), Server OS's and W7, W8.1 - All running standard networking. |

| 1367451 | 2014-02-12 10:05:00 | Same here. Even tho 3 of the PC's here support HG (Win7 / 8.1), I've disabled HG. And just share a folder. So I can copy whatever across the network | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
