I am currently Studying for my Comptia Security+. I have finished my Master’s Degree in Cybersecurity as well as A+ and Network+ Certification. I decided it is now important to learn platform and hardware specific skills. I initially purchased a low cost key online for Windows Server 2025. I attempted to use it with an evaluation Virtual Machine I downloaded from Microsoft’s Website and it said the key was invalid. I initially attempted to install the ISO with Microsoft Hyper-V and Oracle VirtualBox but failed. After doing some reading I found out VirtualBox made an update so I could install Windows Server 2025. I was finally able to install it. The only issue now is that I have to manually shutdown the server when it restarts or else I just get a blank screen. The good thing now is I can transfer my Virtual Host to my Linux Hard Drive so it will run faster.
