A homegroup links computers on your home network so that you can share pictures, music, videos, documents, and printers. The homegroup is protected with a password, and you'll always be able to choose what you share with the group.

You can't create your own homegroup with this edition, but you can join one created by someone on your network who is running Windows 7 Home Premium, Ultimate, Professional, or Enterprise.
