Windows 8.1 Windows update, home group


LeeSmithG

Recommended Posts

I purchased a new PC for my son today.

It came with Windows 8.1 installed.

He is happy so won't be installing 7.

Two things, It recognised home group when I tried to join to mine, I entered correct PW, however it said, needs permission, so help with this please.

I also need to know how to get to Windows Updates.

under network you can turn this off (do not password protect network) no password for network is the thing you have to set up (open network center and go to advanced settings and choose all network (no password protection)

you do not need this (home group) just right click a folder you want to share in the network and choose (share with) choose advanced) it's a bit difficult to tell you the whole story but this will work.

windows update can you get by using a right click on this pc ans choose settings and there you can choose windows update.

or if you are in the metro style (big buttons - start page- ) you can start typing in windows update

i think i'm drunk (lol)

do not be angry about some that posting a joke.

whe are all here to help .

My son seems very happy with 8.1, it's like his xbox display.

Thanks for your reply and the other replies.

windows 8/8.1 home group is annoying!

the icon keeps coming to my desktop!!!!

I know how to get rid of it every time by opening the desktop icons and ticking network / unticking... but seriously they haven't sent out a patch for this yet!! - better be fixed in the next big update....

(I know its a little off topic)

edit

For the xbox the start screen is fine - limited stuff on screen and all in front of you is fine. but come to the desktop and you can fill that start screen with 1000+ box's - which is an headache looking for stuff ;p
