Hello everyone, welcome back to my
0:02
channel. This video going to be quick
0:04
and fast to demonstrate how to get your
0:08
Windows Server 2025 and how to install
0:11
it. It will be straightforward.
0:14
Nothing special and very simple to do.
0:17
Okay, now let's jump into it.
0:27
First thing you have to download it. So
0:29
just enter Windows Server 2025 ISO
0:33
download. You should be able to see this
0:35
Microsoft evaluation center Windows
0:40
So basically you will get the evaluation
0:43
version. So I already have a couple
0:45
video talking about uh how you can get
0:47
the evaluations version for Windows 11
0:50
and how to convert it to official
0:54
version there. So there's a couple ways
0:56
to do that but the level will not be
0:58
covered here. So we just to do the
1:00
download ISO uh for evaluate Windows
1:03
Server 2025. So you may need to register
1:07
for it then you can download it from
1:09
there. You also can use um this link to
1:15
download it below to register.
1:19
This is a link you should be able to
1:21
directly I will copy the link into the
1:25
video description. So whatever you need
1:28
it just go to this link you can directly
1:31
download to it. So this ISO download
1:35
64bit edition. So let's go through this
1:40
Then once you click on it it will start
1:42
downloading right away. I already did so
1:44
I won't be able to show you the whole
1:47
downloading process. Assuming you
1:49
already have it just like I have here.
1:53
So this is almost 6 gig by file. We're
1:56
going to use it to install our Windows
1:59
2025 in our VMware Workstation.
2:06
VMware Workstation you can get it free
2:08
from VMware website. Um I already have
2:11
it. Basically you just need to install
2:13
download and install to create a new
2:16
virtual machine. Go through the new
2:18
virtual machine wizard. You can do
2:20
typical custom doesn't matter.
2:27
ISO file. You just download it which is
2:30
our 5.8 GB file. Next. So it's a
2:37
You can choose OS. You may not have 2025
2:40
here because it's so new. That doesn't
2:42
matter. You can choose 2019 one.
2:48
You may want to change the folder to
3:01
4 GB, 8 GB memory, doesn't matter here.
3:05
You can use NAT or using host only or
3:08
bridge network. By default is NAT which
3:12
is enough for us to use.
3:16
next. Next. Next, let's create a new
3:18
virtual disk. Six gig by testing. More
3:25
So, and then you can customize hardware.
3:29
We leave everything default and then
3:44
Finished installation. Virtual printing
3:47
feature grow polity table. That's fine.
3:59
Just restart it. Ctrl LT to delete and
4:03
restart the machine and then they will
4:06
automatically start from this ISO file.
4:09
And then just like your normal Windows
4:12
installation goes through a wizard. So
4:15
we are going to quickly go through that.
4:20
Again we are using evaluation version.
4:27
So everything will be deleted on this
4:30
virtual machine. If you install on a
4:32
physical machine the physical disk will
4:34
be formatted. Everything will be
4:37
animated. So there's two version
4:40
standard or data center. So we need to
4:44
have desktop experience. So I will
4:46
choose data center one.
4:58
So they should be able to find out that
5:00
60 GB we allocated at the beginning. So
5:04
next. So everything going to be
5:11
So now install the system will restart a
5:14
couple times and this will take a while.
5:17
I will pause the video and uh continue
7:00
So the setup basically has been
7:02
completed. Now you may want to install
7:13
I will give you better graphic
7:40
It's next. Next. Install.
8:12
now the VMware is taking full screen
8:16
and we want to restart the system. I
8:18
will keep it later on. I want to show
8:25
We have Windows Server 2025 data center
8:27
evaluation version. That's our device
8:30
name. You can change that.
8:33
That's how easy you can get the Windows
8:36
2025 on your VMware home lab. I hope you
8:41
enjoyed it. If you like it, give me
