Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Standard 16-Core

Microsoft Windows has now been established in the computer market for about thirty years as the Standard operating system and is used not only by private individuals, but also in development and research. In addition to the ordinary version of Microsoft Windows, the so-called server version is also available to the user: Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Standard. This article explains what exactly this software is about and where it can be used.

What exactly is Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Standard 16-Core and what can the software be used for?

Microsoft Windows Server is an operating system for a computer from the manufacturer Microsoft. It is a so-called server operating system, which allows the user to set up and monitor a server. The operating system itself is usually installed on a computer, which acts as a server and must configure a large number of connections to other computers or devices. Since the 2012 version, Microsoft Windows Server has also been adapted to touch screens, so that no additional monitor or mouse and keyboard need to be connected to the server itself. Furthermore, Microsoft Windows Server can also be installed as a pure core version. This means that a graphical user interface is not available and all inputs must be made via the terminal. This type of installation is mostly useful for advanced users.
Among other things, Microsoft Windows Server also has the task manager and thus allows the monitoring and control of all processes that are active on the server at the current time.
This operating system is not only suitable for creating a server for hosting a website, but also for creating a cloud in a larger company or for creating a server that is accessible to a group of people in a larger company so that files can be stored there. The more powerful the server itself is, the more requests it can handle and the faster the uploading and downloading of files will work

How is Microsoft Windows Server installed on the computer?

The installation can be done either from a CD or from a USB stick. This is done by inserting the CD into the computer, the computer should directly detect and start the installation. If this is not the case, the CD must be given priority in the BIOS so that it does not boot immediately from the hard drive. An assistant guides the user through the installation, which can take up to an hour. After the installation, a reboot takes place and Microsoft Windows Server is then ready for use.

What are the computer requirements for Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Standard to work?

The computer should have a processor with a clock speed of at least 1.4 GHz and support 64-bit operations. Furthermore, at least 512 MB of memory is required, although higher memory or better clock speed of the processor can significantly speed up the work of the system. Likewise, about 32 GB of hard disk space is necessary, although here too an SSD can speed up the work of Microsoft Windows Server. An Ethernet adapter is also required for the connection to the network, which is usually already installed in the hardware.
