I have 4 PCs, 3 running in Windows 8.1 Pro and 1 in Windows 7 Professional.

I have a Homegroup setup which the 3 that is running on Windows 8.1 Pro have already connected. However, the 1 PC that is running on Windows 7 cannot join in the same homegroup. Telling me that the password is incorrect.

Is it impossible to join different OSes in one homegroup?

According to this manual from Microsoft - it is possible:

"After you create a homegroup, the other PCs running Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1, or Windows 7 on your network can join it."

I somehow solved the problem. The Windows 7 PC has a different time and timezone setting. So I managed to reconfigure it and it is fixed.
