Hello Vivek, AFAIK, the Raspberry PI is not enabled to support WIndows 7 as well. As a matter of fact, - if it will be possible, but I think no - the only version of Windows 7 that it can support is the embedded version. The last updated news about the Windows environment running on the Raspberry PI 2 are starting from Windows 10 IoT version, a special version without desktop interface. The last try to install something elder than W10 is the Windows 8 with no success (you can find the discussion link here: Windows 8 consumer preview ) You can find all the related discussions to Windows 10 IoT on Raspberry PI with the following search : http://www.element14.com/community/search.jspa?q=raspberry+windows+10 Enrico

There is NO windows desktop for the PI, of any version Windows 10 IoT on the PI is an appliance based application core, not a desktop and therefor does not even have a true browser or any other desktop apps (Think Toaster, Alarm System, Heating Controller etc) any app written for the PI, either under Raspbian or Windows 10 IoT that leverages APIs on a remote machine via say TCP/IP can access a server based app on ANY windows based host if the host supports the protocol too. it is just a case of programming it. Remote take over of the PC is a different matter, this requires a client app on the PI that can access the PC running the other half of the app. Open VNC is such an app i believe but it is not available to run on Windows 10 IoT, but there is plenty of support on Linux Hope this helps clarify
