Just put the server in a vm on win11. All your problems will go away.

+1 vote for just running the Win servers in VMs on Windows 11.

Works well.

They took a lot of device support out of server along the way and that is when 
I stopped running it in my laptop. I'd install windows 11 and turn on hyper v 
and run server in a vm

I guess this means I must shop around for a hardware combination (or a whole 
box) that specifically runs the latest Windows servers. The price of that is 
worrying, and I need do the research. I've been lucky for the last 20 years 
because old work PCs could be rebranded as home servers without any hiccups at 
all -- Greg

[OT] Windows Server install problems

[Greg Keogh via ozdotnet]

Folks, it's been a non-TGIF day. My old server under the desk running
Server 2019 (or 2016 I forget) died this morning and I'm trying to create a
replacement

I have a brand new *one of these*
,
so I installed Server 2019 and it all went smoothly until it booted and all
chipset devices are dead, including the network adapter and the screen is
stuck at SGA. The only drivers I can find are for Windows 7 to 11 and
nothing else.

I tried installing 2016 as an experiment but it produces the same results.

Am I wasting my time? Is that box incapable of running recent Windows
Server editions?

*Thanks, Greg*
