HostHatch How To Remove Windows ISO

spun

You're right though. Better be safe than sorry.

Just an update. Server 2022 is taking up like 15GB so far, still have updates to do but it's a lot more free space to work with then I had previously.

Windows Server: how to use as a desktop PC

Thanks for that. I'm already aware of how to use it as a desktop. I already have remote desktop access. Just doing updates now and waiting for software licensing to transfer over. Either way this is a huge update for me as far as disk space. I appreciate the advice.

What do you mean software licensing to transfer over?

I'm talking about 3rd party software, not Windows.

So I downloaded Server 2022 from Microsoft and was looking for the Virtio tutorial that I had found before. Then did another quick google search and it looks like https://write.corbpie.com/upload-and-install-windows-server-2022-iso-on-vultr/ has a link to the version with the Virtio drivers already added in (and of course a full install tutorial). Then I tried uploading directly from the URL given on the site but it stalled out at 46% or so and then errored out. So now I'm uploading it onto another server that I have right now (I actually started and stopped doing this 3 times with different file hosting accounts already because I didn't think about this link working and realized .iso has to be the extension at the end of the link). Looks like the ISO is working again for uploading so I'm using the link on that page and simultaneously uploading it to my hosting just in case of failure since I've stopped other uploads prematurely due to thinking something else would work. Currently at 32% uploading from the link on the tutorial.

Reality is even with 1.5GB of disk space left that's really all I need at the moment since I only use the VPS for scraping (and delete files after moving them) but it's good to have the extra disk space since I get weird projects throughout the year.

If you don't need much space, just the IP, then just run a proxy in Linux.

Yeah, but most server admins should know the scripting language that comes with the OS (eg. bash/shell scripting on Linux and PowerShell on Windows).

Server 2012 R2 is EOL now, unless you've purchased extended support from Microsoft (which ends in 2023).
