Windows 10: Windows 10 for routing purposes only

Hello team,

I need to buy some commercial software that works like VPN router, it requires one of these systems: Windows 7 SP1 (32/64-bit), Server 2008 R2 (64-bit),Windows 8 (32/64-bit), Server 2012 (64-bit), Windows 8.1 (32/64-bit), Server 2012 R2 SP1 (64-bit). It also may working on the Windows 10 Professional edition. Thus, the machine will be a simple router on Windows. I guess I need to buy Windows 10 Professional box w/ article number FQC-09118. I want to install this OS to the VMware ESXi cluster which consist of three physical servers each of which has:

CPU E5-2650 v3 (10 cores/2.3Ghz/25Mb/105 watt) - 2 pcs, w/ enabled Hyper-Threading, total logical processors is 40 pcs, RAM 128Gb

In total, the cluster consists of 26 physical cores and 104 logical processors. A Windows virtual machine can only run on one of the servers at a time. In the event of server failure, the cluster loads the virtual machine on one of the remaining working server in the cluster. VMware is on VMware vSphere Essentials Plus license.

With this router will work two persons remotely under Administrator account thru RDP (when one administrator is working, the second one cannot work - I understand this, it's ok for us). What the licenses I need to buy besides the boxed version of Windows (FQC-09118)? What technical limitations can I encounter if I choose Windows 10 Professional rather Windows Server?

For security reasons, Windows will not be in the domain, although the company has it.

I will be glad to advance the answer.

Thanks in advance for the tips.

:)

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

GPS on N8 - see route step by step

If by step by step, you mean a text listing of your route with turns listed, this is not available. This would be a useful feature and maybe you could contact the Nokia Beta Lab to ask if it can be added to a future version. It is however possible to
see a graphical display of your route.
