Windows 7 has no issue with large network shares, so no worries there.

Which firmware is on your Duo?
Can you read this article and confirm from reading the article which Duo you have?: http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/

Hi,
From the ReadyNAS screen (RAIDar ?), I have:-
ReadyNAS Duo V2
Firmware Radiator 5.3.10 (But I can put latest on if needed)
Is this sufficient?

Can I be cheeky and add a supplementary question.
Will ReadyNAS still work OK if I upgrade to Win 10 on all PC's? (Either with 2TB or 4TB drives)

You have the v2. 4TB drives should work in your Duo v2, I think, but if you use disks outside the compatibility list then support may be refused on those grounds alone.
If you upgrade to Windows 10 make sure the NAS and your PCs are in the same workgroup.
