Solve : IS there any server software for Windows XP?? |
|
Answer» Hey everyone, I recently fixed an old, underpowered Toshiba netbook of mine. The specs are; 1GB of DDR2 RAM, 250 GB HDD, and an Intel Atom 1.6 Ghz processor. It was originally running Windows 7 Starter, which was a bottleneck in itself. My parents downloaded a virus on the laptop so I formatted the hard drive and installed Windows XP. It runs so well on the machine, sometimes that CPU fan doesn't even run! Only problem I have is I want to use this as a storage server for my house. A 250 gb hard drive is plenty for what I want it for. I CURRENTLY have it running as a NAS pretty well, but I wanted to take it a step further and install a program like SeaFile to host them online. However, every program I have tried is not compatible. Any solutions would be much appreciated! Thanks!What have you already tried? From Microsoft:However, using this as a server for the Internet is not a good idea. It is a Home Server.I have tried SeaFile, Resilio-Sync, and another one that I can't quite remember the name of. Most of them do not list compatibly for windows XP. And as for leaving as a home NAS only, I just want to see how far I can get with this laptop. I MOSTLY STORE all of my Operating systems on here a whole 80 GB's of them! I would rather use a simple file server tool instead of having to go through various websites every time I want a distro away from home. |
