I have upgraded from XP to Windows 7 Professional. I used Windows Services for Unix in XP but have been informed this is not available for Windows 7. I do not see a NFS Client in the Windows 7 Professional version. What options are there?

Nope - this is wrong - it is only available as a non-installed component on Enterprise versions of Windows 7. As you can see from this screenshot is NOT available on Professional:

Thank you for posting to the Microsoft Answers Forum.

Click here for the link to download installing Utilities and SDK for Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications<!----><!--Published via DxPublisher.-->

This should be the link you were looking for.

Thanks,

    I do as you state but, Client for NFS is not an option I can turn on in Windows 7 X64 Professional... What can I do?

    I just verified that the Client for NFS is not included in Windows 7 Professional.  I installed Windows 7 Enterprise and found the directions that Marilyn O and Geonk gave work.  You may need to upgrade to either  the Enterprise version or perhaps Ultimate version of W7.

    It's not there because it's for Win 7 Enterprise and Ultimate.

    On this page....

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=2391

    Where it says in the title...

    "Utilities and SDK for SUA ships in Microsoft Windows 7/ Windows Server 2008 R2."  

    They secretly mean...

    Win 7 Enterprise / Ultimate.  

    They even say it twice, I guess to be sure everyone get's it...

    This is stuck in bullet mode?

    *Edited due to false WYSIWYG.  Whatever mess is left of this is gonna stay because I'm tired of fighting with microsinks lame excuse for a forum editor.  I could go on about not having so many issues elsewhere...
