Installing Windows Server 2019 in a virtual environment enables you to practice, test, and configure without affecting your primary system. A well-known, open-source virtualization platform that enables you to run multiple operating systems on your computer is VirtualBox. I'll walk you through the steps to installing Windows Server 2019 on VirtualBox in this guide. Let's get things moving!

Conditions needed:

Make sure you have the following information before you begin:

Having VirtualBox set up on your computer. From the official website, you can download it.

- A version of the ISO record for Windows Server 2019 that can be obtained from Microsoft's Evaluation Center.

Step 2: Make a New Virtual Machine

Create a new virtual machine (VM ) for Windows Server 2019 now that VirtualBox has been configured.

- Create a new digital system by visiting the" New" option in VirtualBox when you start it.

Give the VM a short name like "Windows Server 2019" and give it a descriptive name. Additionally, you can specify the folder in which the VM will be kept.

- Operating System Type

Change the kind to" Microsoft Windows"".

If Windows 2019 ( 64-bit ) is not available, set the version to" Windows 2019 ( 64-bit )" or choose Windows 2016 instead.

- Memory (RAM): At least 2048 MB( 2 GB), but 4096 MB( 4 GB) or higher is suggested for better performance.

- Virtual Hard Disk: Select" Create a digital hard drive now" and therefore log" Create. "

Step 3: Set up the Virtual Hard Disk.

VirtualBox will enable you to create a digital hard drive on which Windows Server 2019 will get installed.

Choose the default option, "VD I( VirtualBox Disk Image), "from the list DrIkhaliaBootcamp below.

- Physical hard drive storage: Choose "Dynamically allocated" to save space on your host machine. Only the necessary amount of disk space will be used by this.

- Include at least 50 GB of storage in the specified disk size. If required, you may specify more.

- Click" Build" to finish the hard drive layout.

Step 4: Install the ISO of Windows Server 2019

The ISO document may be mounted in order to install Windows Server 2019.

Select your previously created VM from the VirtualBox primary software and press" Options".

- Go to the "Storage" tab in the storage section of the settings window.

Mount the ISO:

You'll see an empty optical drive ( this is a virtual CD/DVD drive ) under the" Storage Devices" section.

Select" Pick a plate file" and then visit the small disk image following to" Optical Drive. "

Select the place where your Panels Server 2019 ISO is kept and go to.

- To close the settings window, click "OK."

Step 5: Activate the virtual machine

You are now prepared to begin Panels Server 2019 setup.

- Start the electronic machine: Choose the digital machine and press" Start. "

- Start Installation: You'll be prompted to start the installation process by joining the Windows Server 2019 ISO report.

Step 6: Windows Server 2019 Installation

We'll then go over the steps involved in setting Windows Server 2019.

Choose your preferred language, time style, and console output process, then click" Next," then pick" English and Region Settings. "

- Install Now: To start the installation, click the" Install Now" button.

When prompted for an installation type, choose "Custom: Install Windows Only( Advanced)".

You'll see the virtual hard drive you created earlier when you click Disk. To start the installation, select it and click "Next."

Use the Administrator credentials you just created to log into Windows Server 2019.

Step 8: Post-Installation Configuration

Use the VirtualBox Guest Additions: To increase the performance of your VM and allow features like shared folders and clipboard sharing, place the following:

In the VM's window, click" Devices" and choose" Insert Guest Additions CD image".

Install Guest Additions and reset the VM applying the on-screen guidelines.
