The Home Group function
(for the Windows 7 operating system only)
A Home Group is a function that enables connecting
all the computers at home allowing users to access
the data on all computers as if accessing the data on
the local computer.
If you set the first computer to use a
Home Group
as a Home Network, you can create a Home
Group. A second (and more) computer can
participate in the created Home Group. A password
is required for participation and you can confirm the
password on the first computer.
This function is only available between computers
that have the Windows 7 operating system installed.
If an older operating system than Windows 7 is
installed on a computer, the computer cannot create
or participate in a Home Group.
In addition, the Windows 7 Starter version does not
support the Home Group function.
