Title: Tech Help: Running WHS on an old laptop?
Post by: Tractor on January 01, 2009, 09:38:54 PM
Will Windows Home Server run ok on a Laptop?
Im building a fully wired network in my house and want to use Windows Home Server for music and films etc.
I have a HP laptop, good spec with 2x160gb drives in but the screen is a bit flicky so i was planning on using this for my server as it will be sitting in a loft so not worried about the screen being a bit dodgy.
Will it be ok? Or would i be better off with a proper server?
Any help much appreciated.

You'll be fine for filesharing, just remember to set up remote desktop acess to the server.
