Everyone is correct. :-)
Regardless of the version of Windows it's a hell of a lot more difficult
to mount a NFS network drive compared to SMB.
Microsoft includes NFS ("Services for NFS") in Windows 7 Enterprise and
Ultimate. (I don't think Windows 8.x had an Ultimate flavor, so in the
Windows 8.x stream Microsoft's NFS is only in Windows 8 Enterprise.) All
that really changed in Windows 10 is that Microsoft included NFS in their
lower Windows 10 license tiers.
But no problem. Microsoft's NFS is based on the University of Michigan's
work. If you have Windows 7 but don't have Enterprise or Ultimate, you can
go right back to the original authors to get their NFS code (source code
and pre-built binary):

UofM NFS also works on the now unsupported Windows Vista editions.
