Windows Home Server is a piece of software designed by Redmond-based software giant Microsoft with the user’s comfort in mind. Thanks to Windows Home Server people that have more than one computer or run their business from home can seamlessly access photos, videos, music or any other file type from any PC/TV in the household or home business.

“If you have multiple PCs with increasingly large amounts of digital photography, music, video, and documents, then protecting, organizing, and connecting this digital media can be a challenging task. Help with managing your digital dilemmas has arrived. Windows Home Server does more than Network Attached Storage (NAS),” explained Microsoft.


The software does not come free of charge, it comes with a price tag attached to it. But do not be put off by the fact that you have to part with your hard earned money to get Windows Home Server. There are other reasons why you would want to use it in your household or home office.
