Can I install and run standard Windows applications on WHS? Do you guys know sites where I can find add-ins?

Good question, and I think it depends primarily on which applications you want to install on Windows Home Server. You can find an "official" list of add-ins at http://www.wegotserved.com/category/add-ins/whs-v1/ or http://www.wegotserved.com/category/add-ins/whs-v2/. The only "official" add-ins I have installed are PerfectDisk 11 and Windows Home Server Disk Management, but I've also installed VisualSVN Server, Debugging Tools for Windows, RoboCopy, and UltraEdit. The biggest complaint I have is that backing up PCs to Windows Home Server works great, but backing up Windows Home Server to an external drive has some rather severe limitations - it won't back up files that extend beyond the file path limit or that exceed a certain size. This is why I use RoboCopy to backup Windows Home Server instead of the Backup link in the Windows Home Server Console.

It can't run any windows applications. It only runs online apps. Many are free. All are free for consumers from Google. : )

I currently do run on Windoes 7 and it does not need any extra installing software other than connecting to the computer. Very smooth process.

Yes. There is software available for all past and present Windows Operating systems.

Which platform? I have the most recent WIndows version which I could post somewhere.

Thanks guys... downloaded Ubuntu from the master site and within a hour almost all my WIN apps that I needed are running.Very fast indeed. Now if only I can get some programming tools to write some small apps, I'll be all set. Have Windows all my computer life and want to see what else is out there.

Hi. You can not install any software, but you can use Office web apps. http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/web-apps/ Thanks.

Microsoft has an "upgrade" that is free - Windows 8.1. It makes the W8 a bit more like W7, but not entirely. W8/8.1 takes some getting used to but it isn't too bad. If you get a touch screen laptop (this one is not touch screen) it might be a bit easier to get accustom to.

Yes but you may have to download the windows 98 or XP emulator and run it off that on Vista...........I ran it direct but W7 requires the XP emulator to run within it...... http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows7/install-and-use-windows-xp-mode-in-windows-7 copy and paste this address into your search engine and windows will explain it all..... good luck!!!!¬!¬!

Actually is i dont know or try to do that, but windows 8 is just like windows 7 with different "start menu" design . And most of apps are now copatible with w8Also it can be install win 7 because the system requirment is enough for that.

I think this question is specific for the Vendor but I would not do this. W8 is faster, I need just to get use it.

Yes. I had zero problems to install and run it on my standard Dell machine with Win7

I think you can only get it included with WP X7. I called Corel, asking about the add-on and they sent me to a non-existent page. Methinks the ebook publisher is no longer available because it is included in SP7

Short Answer is NO. I scoured the internet for drivers and programs for this. Nothing. W7 uses basic generic drivers that come with W7.

Yes, it's a basic windows OS, so anything you can do with windows, you can do on this.

Hello; I purchased as gifts & contacted someone I sent it to. On the side of the box it says compatible with Windows 8, they however don't have W-8 so all we can go by is the box. Hope this helps.
