Can I connect a Client computer which has Windows 7 Professional or Windows 7 home operating system to a Windows 2012 Rs standard server?

If you set the server 2012(r1 or r2) up as a domain controller then any connecting clients need to be professional version. Home versions will only work in a workgroup. You also need to buy CALS(client access licenses) for any PCs connecting to the server to be legal.

We are using our 2012 server to run some medical management software. It is replacing a server that was running xp. There are 5 computers still running xp and one running 7, accessing the management software. Seems to be just fine.

If you are asking can a Win 7 pro access via RDP Windows 2012 R2 answer is yes assuming you configure the remote access settings properly. Otoh if you are looking for a Win 7 pro (or ult) to join a win 2012 as part of a AD, answer is yes as well. However as others have mentioned, Win 7 home joining a domain is a different story, leave the Win 7 in its workgroup and then enable shares/access to the win 2012 server as needed, or RDP to it.

A Windows 7 Pro client can access shares on a standalone Win 2012R2 server (assuming the user has permissions) and it can also be joined to an Active Directory domain built from Win Server 2012R2 and many other Windows iterations. Windows 7 Home can browse shares on a 2012 R2 server (again assuming you have the permissions set correctly) but a Home version cannot join an AD domain.

Windows 7 professional or greater only (professional, enterprise or ultimate). You cannot join a domain with home versions of Windows 7 (starter, home, home premium)

MS and HP recommend you only use WHS designed components, but yes you can install custom applications. One option is to use remote desktop to connect to the server, from there it's pretty much your standard Windows.

List of supported OS's from their website: Windows Server 2012, 2008 / Windows 8, 7, Vista / Linux Distributions / FreeBSD So if your Home server version is later than Win Vista, you should be fine.

I have Windows 7 professional on mine. I may have paid extra to have professional vs. home.

I've got it hooked up to a PC under Windows 7 Home Premium, and it works fine. Since all Windows 7 versions are based on the same core, I don't think there would be any problem with Windows 7 Professional.

Yes this server does support Windows 2012 and it does support virtualization.

Yes. I've also successfully used this in a Server 2012 environment. It's a great product.

I installed it on a laptop that runs Windows XP Professional and it works fine . no complaints - I did not try it with windows 7 - I can tell you that it only works with the software provided - Windows XP Pro did pick up the WiFi signal to connect -BUT! - You can only connect with the Linksys Software.

Not 100% sure, it definitely works with Server 2012 which would imply it will work with Windows 8 so I suspect it may. The drivers are certainly available and 2012 R2 matches up with 8.1, I'm 99% sure it would, just haven't tried it myself.

I used my switch between an older computer with Windows 98 Second Edition and a computer with XP Professional. I'm not sure about your situation.

Yes, I am running Windows Home Server 2011 (which is actually 2008 r2 if you go deep enough into the specs) on a Dell PowerEdge Server. The rocketraid is Configured as a storage RAID 5 with 4 "Red" WD HDD's, inconjuction with an operating system Raid using SSD's with the onboard OEM raid config from the Manufacturer. Its been running this last year now without any problems.

Can one simply upgrade the Windows 7 Home Edition to Windows 7 professional on this machine?

It does for me. I have Windows 7 on one computer (Dell) and Windows XP Professional on the other (Dell).

I do not know the answer. I would suggest you contact the manufacturer. I have Windows 7, and it works fine to upload my readings to the computer, then to DropBox and on to my client.
