As above really, looking to interlink a few office PCs with a home PC and have file transfer between them seamless and easy but didn't know of the possibilities of doing this with a VPN in place.

Would it be better using some software or just configuring within windows do you think?

Any software recommendations gladly welcomed

TIA

Do yourself a favour and do it in hardware, Ipsec on some cheaper firewalls and you are away. I achieve this using Fortigate 30E at home to a fortigate in the office but there are more cost effective solutions like netgear pro vpn firewalls and even draytek kit that can be picked up for pittance.
 
Have you considered using something else to store files rather than opening up a VPN tunnel between what is presumably a secured network, and somebody's home network?
