Join a homegroup
When you have several PCs on a network, homegroups make sharing printers and files a lot easier. A homegroup
is a group of PCs on a network that can share devices (such as printers) and files (such as your Documents,
Pictures, Music, and Videos).
If you’ve already created a homegroup, Surface can join it. Here’s how:
1. Open the Settings charm, then tap or click Change PC settings > Network > HomeGroup.
2. Tap or click Join. You can get the password from anyone else in the homegroup.
After you join a homegroup, you can access printers and files on PCs that are part of your homegroup. For more
info, see HomeGroup from start to finish on Windows.com.
Join a workgroup
Surface 2 can join an existing workgroup on a network. To learn more, see Join a domain, workgroup, or
homegroup on Windows.com.
