I have 2 new Acer computers, both running Windows 7 Home Premium. I am attempting to share files on a homegroup for the first time.

I can't make the Homegroup Icon show on my desktop in Windows 8, how do I do so?
location:

January 21, 2013
I am unable to make the Homegroup Icon or the Libaries Icon show up in desktop mode on Windows 8. In all other ways Windows 8 acts as if they are there; they who up when I look at the desktop as a folder, they take up spots on the grid. I am wanting them
to show. I would rather they be something I can move, but if not I'd still rather be able to see them then have them hidden.

Original Title: Connecting 2 computers win 7 to win 8?
I just ordered a new computer that has windows 8. I have never done this with previous computers.
Can I connect both computers together so I can transfer my document folder to the new computer.
Rather than using an external drive or usb to transfer certain files.
Can this be done by a usb cord or some other way?
thanks for any assistance,
Bruce
