Since the Windows operating system installation is straightforward, it will not be explained with screenshots to avoid wasting time. We will talk about the settings that need to be done after the operating system is installed cleanly. You can find many documents on the installation of Windows Server and other operating systems by searching on Google.
After the installation is complete, the “Server Manager” interface appears.

We start the process for IP address assignment;

We add our IP address by navigating to the sections shown in the image. If we are going to install Windows updates or third-party software, it is important to assign DNS addresses to our server; otherwise, we will get errors during the installation of control panels or software.

Our server can now access the internet. Let us take a look at the other necessary settings;

From the Local Server tab, we disable the “Firewall” and “IE Enhanced Security Configuration” features. We temporarily disable the Firewall for remote desktop connection; it can later be re-enabled after allowing remote desktop through the firewall. The other feature, “IE Enhanced Security Configuration”, allows us to view pages through the browser without any restrictions. You can search online for detailed information.



We also activate the Remote Desktop feature and complete our operations on the virtual console for now. The subsequent steps will be done via remote desktop for ease of use.

If a control panel running on Windows systems is to be installed, it must be done after a clean operating system installation. Control panels are an important installation step as they manage many services. If you encounter an error, you will need to reinstall the entire system.
