There used to be support for setting up a nfs server in XP through Windows Services for UNIX (SFU) (support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/324089). SFU was already deprecated when Win7 came out, but it was still included in some version. Unfortunately I have no Win7 install around to check, but out of this support thread answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/…, I make out it is only available for enterprise and ultimate. You probably have to resort to a third party tool like ssnobody suggest.

To people arriving here from Google who happen to be on Windows 10: Microsoft added NFS support to Windows 10 with the anniversary update. Sadly, I couldn't find any documentation on it, but it's installable from the standard Add or remove Windows components dialog. It probably exposes a mount command, just as its predecessors did. I'm not sure if it offers a server, or how to use it, but there's a good chance it's in there somewhere.

I know you're +50 bounty is ending soon but you can check out: support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/324089 and figure out where to download the Nfsshare.exe talked about there to configure for your use accordingly. If you find the tool, it's likely compatible with Windows 7 or has a version which is.

Option 1: use Hanewin NFS
http://www.sysprobs.com/configure-set-nfs-share-windows-7-ready-storage-vmware-esx

Option 2:

msiexec /I D:sfusetup.msi /qb addlocal="NFSServer,NFSServerAuth"  [targetdir="install path"]

then just right-click on folder -> share -> NFS
or

nfsshare -o anon=yes share_name=drive:path

Option 3:

SFU is not available in Win 7 Pro, (which your option three link makes clear) and link only answers are discouraged. Also, option 3 discussed the NFS client rather than the server although neither will work on Professional edition. I believe Option 1 would work, but it would be better to reproduce the instructions from the link in your answer.

Indeed, it's 7 Pro, not enterprise. I didn't pay attention on it.

Make sure to set the right permissions. Also, I'm pretty sure that this method requires the other computer to enter your credentials at least once, so if it's incapable of doing so (say, a very simple streamer), this may not work for you.
