The "Home" versions of Windows don't like to be fully networked. They
can be set up for file sharing easily enough, but that seems to be about
it. If you want full networking, you need to go with the premium or pro
editions.
Apparently, Microsoft isn't making this easy, but if you go with Win8
Professional (whatever the top end version is), you can "downgrade" to
Windows 7 if you have a legit copy that OS available on a disc.
Unless you are well and truly into computer geekery, get the top end Win
8 OS, it should play nice on your network, and then put a classic shell
on it.

It works, and it takes all of the Windows 8 pain away, while at the same
time leaving in some of the nice features that Windows 8 inherited from
Window 7.
