Greetings, Deni!
> We have Windows file share which is using NFS to share content.
You're contradicting yourself.
Windows (CIFS) file sharing is not the same as Linux (NFS).
You can have NFS server on Windows (Cygwin for example provide one), but I see
no reason to do so.

Install on what?

It is a Windows shared directory access semantics.
Which does not make much of a difference between CIFS and NFS shares.

I'm open for clarifications.
Right now, your message is a total mess I dare not to make sense of.
And I'm not going to guess, what did you mean, either.
Please clearly explain
1. The resources available locally.
2. The resources available remotely.
3. The method used to access remote resources.
4. The intended goal of your endeavor.
