Use the Win7 family to connect multiple computers

in the home of many people. If you need to transfer files between several computers in your home, what method would you choose? Use QQ to transfer, use U disk

Write down the family group password

Write down the string of passwords and click "Finish" to save and close the settings. A family group is created.

Step 2: Join the family group

To join the existing family group, also open the “Family Group” setting from the control panel. When the system detects that there is already in the current network. In the family group, the button that originally displayed "Create Family Group" will become "Join Now".

The computer that joins the family group also needs to select the project that you want to share. After you have selected it, you can join the group by entering the password you just got when you created the family group in the next step.

Step 3: Transfer files through the family group

After all the computers in the home are added to the family group, expand the “Family Group” directory on the left side of the Win7 Explorer and you will see All the computers that have joined. As long as the shared item is selected when joining, it can be freely copied and pasted by the family group, just like the local mobile and copy files.
