Two of the main differences are:
Professional: 1) XP-mode - Yes 2) Remote Desktop Server (RDP) - Yes Home Premium: 1) XP-mode - No 2) Remote Desktop Server (RDP) - No If either of these are something you feel you need or might need then Professional is the OS for you otherwise Home Premium is a more cost effective choice although if you buy Professional OEM some of the cost difference is mitigated but OS is tied to that machine only. |

but I have considered 3rd party app and maybe that's easiest solution - Filezilla might be the answer |

First issue will be ISP and if they block port 80 (there are ways around that). Second is to set up your files properly (need to be set up to be shared). ~Lordbob |
