I am in the process of engaging the services of an independent IT support contractor for some installation/
re-installation, technical upgrade work. I have now 3 computers.
One has recommended the set up of a HomeGroup. Yet, some years ago, I actually engaged a company to set up a network (between 2 computers), which I still use.
Can any here kindly tell me what the difference(s) is/are between the HomeGroup set up by MS, & an actual small network set up by others, that appears to not utilise the MS-supplied component?
