Can I create a homegroup between devices using Windows 7 and Windows 8?

Hello. Upstairs, I have a pc with Windows 7 home premium. My printer is connected to it. Downstairs, I have a new laptop with Windows home premium 8.

The PC is connected to internet wireless. So the laptop, except that it's pretty close to the top for one Ethernet cable to use.

I would like to have access to the printer from my laptop and to be able to share files.
A solution via a homegroup, but Microsoft Help says that both devices must be running Windows 7.
Is this correct?
If so, is there another way I can access the printer from the laptop?
Thanks in advance,
Laurence

Hi Laurence!

You can put the two computers in the same workgroup.

Hope that helps!

See you soon

  • Can not do a homegroup between PC w / Win 7 and laptop w / Win 8

    I have a router with wireless capabilities and my PC is connected to it and my laptop is wireless and internet connections are large.  I had a successful homegroup before but I had to unplug my PC to clean/redesign for the new office.  Now, I can 'create' a homegroup with computer but neither one can "find" the other homegroup, and I can't print from my wireless on my printer connected to my PC more.

    I get a 'sign' in box for my PC which request you a user name and password of my network "Home 7" but I can't remember or find that information anywhere. "."  My wireless router is "(name)" and network cards on my Wired PC PC lounge via the router to the internet and my laptop is 'discovered' but not 'connected '.  The two computers 'see' each other, but won't the other homegroup.  I don't me the button "join the homegroup" on computers.

    How can I reset the 'wired network' for my PC?  I think this repetition which would allow computers to find the other homegroup.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    This issue could be due to some incorrect homegroup settings. I suggest you try these methods and check:

    When you are prompted to connect, sign in with your Windows 7 username and password and see if that credentials are accepted.

    If the problem persists, I suggest you remove the homegroup and put once more to correct the parameters of sharing as explained in this article:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/HomeGroup-help#HomeGroup-start-to-finish=Windows-81&V1H=win81tab1&V2H=win7tab1

  • When I try to copy a file to an external device using Windows Explorer I get the following error message: "cannot copy. The directory or file cannot be created. »

    When I try to copy a file to an external device using Windows Explorer I get the following error message: "cannot copy.  The directory or file cannot be created. "I understand that I may have the physical limit of USB keys for the root directory.  How can I fix it?

    Hi GloriaZF,

    What is the size of your external hard drive and what is the available free space? Open my computer-> right click on the external hard drive-> properties. You will not be able to copy more data if the disk is full, or who have less space compared to the size of the file you are trying to copy.

    You need to remove the order data to make the space more. Deleted data from the device USB will be permanently deleted and will not be stored in your Inbox, so take care while eliminating unnecessary data.

    I hope this helps.

    No - it isn't.

    You can, however, create a VIRTUAL column in the parent table, and then create a foreign key that references.

  • I have a question comparing Dreamweaver and Muse.  Can I create a website with Muse, then learn Dreamweaver, and edit the site Web of Muse?  Or would I need to start over with a new Web site based on Dreamweaver?

    I have a question comparing Dreamweaver and Muse.  Can I create a website with Muse, then learn Dreamweaver, and edit the site Web of Muse?  Or would I need to start over with a new Web site based on Dreamweaver?

    I went the same route. I started to want to learn web design and the Muse is an excellent tool. The code it generates, however, not to use it in Dreamweaver. This could be done, I think this isn't worth it, even for a real Geek. Once you get to Muse you will find there are things missing, stuff, you want to do, but are just tough in Muse or you can buy a widget. It is possible in DW and you get which through subscription, so it makes sense. Me what I know now, I'll go directly to DW to learn, except if you want results right now. If you don't want something to cause I stay with Muse and maybe learn to animate CC to add some pizazz to the site. If you only want a simple layout and a couple supporting stick with Muse pages if you want a larger site use DW. Good luck and check out this page to Muse on Google Plus Adobe Muse for beginners - community - Google +...

  • Restore to factory state out of the box. Can I install all updates from Microsoft using Windows update or can I install antivirus first before to connect to internet?

    Restore to factory state out of the box. Can I install all updates from Microsoft using Windows update or can I install antivirus first before to connect to internet?

    Currently Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 x 86 (no patches since 2008). Currently, it has no AV and has not been connected to the internet yet. It will be behind a router.

    I had to redo the factory already reset after be connected to the net for 20 minutes and then a bunch of programs kept crashing saying Data Execution Prevention had to close the program StackHash and BEX error when executing update for HP drivers.

    Maybe I installed Kaspersky first next time?

    What should I do?

    Thank you!

    No problem. Install the updates. You can install the anti-virus later.

    Just don't start browsing the inet by updating.

  • Can I create two tasks of IA using the same unit of data acquisition?

    Hi all

    Sorry for the question of gumby, but I'm new to all this stuff DAQmx, and I'm trying to understand how it all works.

    I use a USB-6229 with LabVIEW 8.6.1.

    I would use 30 lines HAVE to monitor 30 voltage remote signals.

    I would use the other two lines of AI to perform input voltage independent tasks.

    I tried to create and start the two tasks, but I get an error message when I try to start the second task.  He tells me that the resource is not available.

    What is the cleaner way to configure things working for me?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi diarmaede,

    You can only create one task to HAVE on your card. Read all your DO this card in a loop. You can divide the result and send it to different loops to work on it.

    It will be useful.

  • Sharing files between devices using internet?

    Because I use my cell phone for internet connection I need to know if file sharing between my phone and my computer or iPad using this connection. It becomes expensive to use this connection and I need to watch - and to limit my use. So far I have not found information on how Lightroom uses the net.

    As John said, there is an option to avoid using cellular data - simply press the Lr logo at the top left and you'll see it there:

    Note that you can activate it works at will, so if you need to synchronize "just this once" you can turn it off temporarily (remember to turn it back on when you're done!)

  • Difference between the use of IS and HAVE when creating a Package or procedure

    Hello

    Has had an interview in one of the company.

    They asked me that, "What is the difference between IS and as in the creation of package or Stored Procedure Usage?".

    I checked the package creation with same IS and YOU, but there is no problem.

    Kindly clarify me on this.

    Many thanks in advance.

    No. I like IS more What did. Not to mention what the Ada (the mother of PL/SQL language), use.

    PL/SQL is allow that you use IS or ACE.

    A possible reason for PL/SQL support this, is influence of syntax for the SQL language. The ANSI SQL syntax uses YOU. And the SQL language can be used natively inside code PL, due to the integration of SQL, PL/SQL.

    Use IS or ACE.

    Many (?) use definitions of package fror YOU and IS for the definitions of the procedure and function. Not necessary from a perspective of language syntax, but serves to highlight the differences between a package signature and that of the procedures, functions, and methods.

  • How can I create new partition for dual boot (Windows 7/Ubuntu)?

    My Z580 came with 4 primary partitions: the Windows boot partition; Windows OS & data (C drive); a "Lenovo" partition which seems to have the drivers and software pre-installed (drive D). and an OEM partition that is used for key recovery.

    I want to create a dual boot system, as if I had on my old laptop, so I guess I need to delete one of the existing partitions and create an extended partition. The best candidate seems to be the 'Lenovo' partition with the drivers and applications. Can I backup the data on this partition and transfer it to the C drive... or put it on a new logical partition?

    Alternatively, it would be preferable to save the OEM DVD recovery partition, and then delete and create a new extended partition? I guess that means abandon OKR, but I'd still be able to recover Windows of DVDs (?).

    I would appreciate anyone's help. I am far from being an expert or computer whizz, so if you can help, please keep it simple!

    In fact, you can get if you only change the size of the D: drive. I guess that your D: drive occupies about 25 GB. You can delete this partition and shrink the C: drive as 100 GB (or any size you like) and you can create a new D: drive. This way you can use OneKey Recovery and install the second OS on a larger partition and yet once again, I suggest you create Factory Default disc before you do all this
