I am using windows 7 home premium as my operating system in my computer. Well I want to say that my operating system does not support backing up of files to any network location. The sad part is that it does not allow the data to be backed up In a drive which gives the option to backup and then transfer the particular data to the different drive. I needed to know does professional edition and the business edition of the windows 7 support such features. In case I upgrade to the professional edition then do I need to pay the full price. Do give me some information on these.

Well the answer for the storage of the files in the network drive will be possible only in the windows 7 ultimate and the professional edition. So you must have to upgrade your operating system in order to access this service. So do try upgrading the operating system of the computer and enjoy the benefits. In case you need more information on the sharing of the files in the network drive then you can visit that particular Microsoft website and you will get the necessary information.

Your query regarding the cost for the upgradation then let me tell you that you will have to spend some extra money for the upgradation because the home and the other editions like business and ultimate editions are totally different editions. So you will have to buy a new edition for that. As per as the back up issue is concerned then you can try backing up the data in some of the external data storage device like dvd, usb etc. that will help you. Hope you have got the necessary solution.
