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:

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?

This should be the link you were looking for.
Thanks,

2012-11-01T17:11:19+00:00 Expand the entry for "Services for NFS".
"Services for NFS" does not populate in the list.
What am I missing.
Windows 7 Professional SP1
and then the other replys showed up for this post and I found my answer.
I agree it is ridicilous that this is not available in the Professional version.

2012-11-29T17:11:48+00:00 In order to activate the Client for NFS, go into the Control Panel, and go to "Programs and Features". In the left hand column, you'll see a link for "Turn Windows features on or off".
Select that, and it will open a list box that shows all of the optional components built in to Windows 7. Some are already activated. Expand the entry for "Services for NFS".
Marilyn, There is *NO* "Services for NFS" listed in the Windows Features dialog box. What do we do now? How do we get this Services for NFS installed on our Windows 7 Pro x64?
