stop Windows folder and file permissions sharing and homegroup
Is there any way to stop or delete Windows 8.1 folder and file permissions, sharing and homegroup? I am the only person using my home system with 1 laptop and don't need all that. I'm also the administrator, since it's just me. It's also confusing. If there isn't a way to stop or delete all that, are there simple instructions or explanations how to use it? I'm planning to upgrade to Windows 10, or get a new computer probably with Windows 10, and don't want to have to use all the file sharing, etc. if I don't have to. Thanks

So there's really no option so you aren't forced to have file permissions, rights, etc?
File permissions belong to native Windows. Homegroup was an add-on, but file permissions are, and have always been, managed outside of Homegroup and before Homegroup was ever introduced.
