  2 days ago · This is all home lab messing around. I have Essentials running now as if it was a DC on top of the free Hyper-V. Mostly I'm getting annoyed with using the Windows Admin Center to manage everything the more I considered it, I was just going to nuke it and use Essentials Eval and then I thought maybe Windows 10 Pro would server my needs. Feb 11,  · I have Windows 10 Home installed on my PC. I do web development as part of a personal project. I want to run a web server on my Win10 PC. I am looking for a reasonably priced, easy to use web server. Does Win10 have a native webserver? If not what is a recommended web server I could use with Win10?

After you've successfully performed a Home-to-Pro upgrade, you can file that product key away. Your upgrade is now a digital license, attached to your unique hardware. If you perform a reinstallation of Windows, Microsoft's activation servers will recognize the hardware and activate Windows 10 automatically. I have tested this scenario multiple times on hardware that originally shipped with Windows Home and was upgraded to Windows 10 Pro. After the upgrade was complete, I used a bootable USB flash drive containing Windows 10 setup files to reinstall a clean copy of Windows 10 Pro, skipping the option to enter a product key as part of setup, as shown below.

When prompted, be sure to choose Windows 10 Pro as the edition to install. The system was properly activated, because Microsoft's servers recognized the hardware and used the digital license.

Looking for technical information about Windows 10 releases, new features, known issues, troubleshooting, and tech support? Start here. The one gotcha in this series of scenarios comes when you have a system that includes digital licenses for both Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro.

In that scenario, you can inadvertently restore Windows 10 Home. This happened recently when I used a recovery image to reinstall Windows 10 on a Surface Pro PC that had originally shipped with Windows 10 Home and had been upgraded to Windows 10 Pro. Not surprisingly, using the recovery image gave me an installation of Windows 10 Home. If that happens to you, don't bother searching for the product key you used to upgrade. Otherwise if Windows server is too expensive I know it is , look into Windows 10 pro for workstations.

Why not just download the windows server eval or windows server preview version, and run it in Win 10 hyperv? I'm not sure what's really being asked here, but my two cents is "go for it". The only limitation you're likely to run into is if chosen software has platform requirements that force a "server" edition. Otherwise the only other main limitation i can think of is the number of devices that can connect to the desktop edition as a "client".

With the desktop editions, I think that's 5 or 10, depending on the version of Windows. This is off the top of my head, so ymmv. Good luck! This is all home lab messing around.

Mostly I'm getting annoyed with using the Windows Admin Center to manage everything the more I considered it, I was just going to nuke it and use Essentials Eval and then I thought maybe Windows 10 Pro would server my needs.

I already have multiple keys for it, but if it's not going to work to meet my needs I was going to just install ESS as the Hyper-visor and call it a day. I do like Linux for those who mentioned it, but I'm not familiar enough with it to use it as my Hyper-visor which would place me back in the same boat lol.

I did look into the number of users that could connect to 10 pro and it looks like it's 20 concurrent users, but there is licensing in the EULA that limits connections more so than the OS being unable to handle it. Since there are few people if any connecting I think that would be fine. With that setup is there anything I should be aware of if I outgrow 10 Pro? I want to run a web server on my Win10 PC.
