Question
Install Windows Server without installation media
I have a license for Windows Server OS. I would like to perform clean install but I don’t have installation files for that. What can I do in this case? Is it possible to install Windows Server without installation media?
Answer
There is several option to get installation files for Windows Server. For example:
- Ask server vendor to provide disk if OS was delivered with hardware,
- Get evaluation ISO for Windows Server from Microsoft Evaluation Center, install trial and use DISM to change version to licensed.
