Abstract Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file protocol predominantly used in UNIX and Linux environments. While Windows traditionally favors SMB (Server Message Block), Windows 10 includes a native, optional NFS client. This paper outlines the activation, configuration, mounting procedures, and limitations of the Windows 10 NFS client, providing practical guidance for heterogeneous network environments. 1. Introduction In mixed operating system environments, seamless file sharing between Linux servers and Windows workstations is essential. Although third-party solutions exist, Windows 10 Professional and Enterprise editions offer a built-in NFS client. This feature allows direct access to NFS exports without additional software, improving performance and security in enterprise settings. 2. Enabling the NFS Client in Windows 10 The NFS client is not installed by default. It is available in Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, or Education (not Home edition). or Education (not Home edition).
