Select your edition and installation method:
When you download the full ISO, you will need to select an edition and installation option. This ISO evaluation includes the Datacenter and Standard editions. The Datacenter edition is the most comprehensive and includes new features specific to the Datacenter (Shielded Virtual Machines, Storage Spaces Direct, and Software-Defined Networking), as well as unlimited server virtualization.Installation options:
- Server Core: This is the recommended installation option. It is a smaller installation that includes the core components of Windows Server and supports all server roles, but does not include a local graphical user interface (GUI). This option is used for headless deployments, which are managed remotely through Windows Admin Center, PowerShell, or other server management tools.
- Server with Desktop Experience: This is the complete installation and includes a full GUI for customers who prefer this option.
