We have been running a small EPIM system on a Windows Home Server "Server 1", which is a cut-down version of Windows Server 2008. It works well. Microsoft have announced that very soon mainstream support will end for that Windows family.
We are continuing to use EPIM, daily, while we plan a new server "Server 2", or maybe we do not even need a formal 'server' - a networked PC may be all we need, but within the next few weeks we will purchase and set-up a suitable PC.

If so, please can you explain in simple terms what the process is. Thanks
