QThe Home Group function
(for the Windows 7 operating system only)
AHome 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 that Windows 7 is installed on a computer, the computer cannot create or participate in a Home Group.
In addition, using the Home Group function is restricted in the Windows 7 Starter version because of the operating system properties.
