Does NV+ work with Windows 7 64 bit?
Hi. I have the NV+ (not the NV+ Version 2). Before I purchase hard drives for it, will it work with my Windows 7 OS? Thanks.
I have had not problems with mine. However, I use it as a standard file server. You should create a user id and password on the PC running Win 7, and the first time you attempt to connect to frontview you will get a request to create an exemption to the Windows firewall. It is not difficult, all you have to do is approve the exception.
Most of my applications (Word, Excel, Quicken, etc) connect directly to the files on the NAS via shares mapped as drive letters. When I first set up my Win 7 installs on my machines (upgrades to Vista which was very similar) the files were on my NV+, but they are now on my NVX, but it is similar (NV+ in a backup mode).
