Question
We all have Windows machines but store all our files on a NAS drive, so we don't really have a server, but want to use some kind of version control.
Can anyone recommend a version control software to use and a simple tutorial on how to install and use it, or if not suggest a book to buy that will talk me through it step by step.
Solution
You can use the VisualSVN Server and store repositories on a network share (NAS).
Follow the steps provided at Storing repositories on a network share to setup VisualSVN Server to store it's repositories on a share.
OTHER TIPS
Kind of off topic for stackoverflow, but I will bite.
I would recommend using bitbucket (http://bitbucket.org) with mercurial and tortisehg (http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.io/) It is not SVN, but centralized SCM going the way of the dinosaur anyway.
Bitbucket is free for up to 5 concurrent users, and allows for unlimited free private repositories.

We are using bitbucket / tortisehg for our large ASP.net project, and loving it so far. It has tight integration with our bug tracking system (jira)
