Windows 10 cannot detected desktop homegroup running on windows 7 (and vice versa)

[notasandwich]

Installed a copy of Windows 10 64bit but I cannot get it to detect my desktop's Homegroup. When I try to get it to detect it tells me that their are no homegroups on the network. The odd thing is that my Windows 10 laptop was able to detect a separate laptop running Windows 7 32bit running on my home's wifi network.

I have tried deleting and creating new works groups on each machine, one at a time obviously; running the troubleshooter on both and disabling the wifi on the laptop just in case, and in all case have been unable to get either machine to detect each other to set up the homegroup.

Solved the problem myself. Turns out I just had the change my laptop's name to something else as it had the same name as the desktop. At least I think that's what did the trick
