Folks, it's been a non-TGIF day. My old server under the desk running Server 2019 (or 2016 I forget) died this morning and I'm trying to create a replacement I have a brand new *one of these* <https://www.ple.com.au/Products/665032/ple-midnight-gtx-1650-prebuilt-ready-...>, so I installed Server 2019 and it all went smoothly until it booted and all chipset devices are dead, including the network adapter and the screen is stuck at SGA. The only drivers I can find are for Windows 7 to 11 and nothing else. I tried installing 2016 as an experiment but it produces the same results. Am I wasting my time? Is that box incapable of running recent Windows Server editions? *Thanks, Greg*
They took a lot of device support out of server along the way and that is when I stopped running it in my laptop. I'd install windows 11 and turn on hyper v and run server in a vm David Connors david@connors.com // +61 417 189 363 On Fri, 15 Mar 2024 at 16:32, Greg Keogh via ozdotnet <ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com> wrote:

I guess this means I must shop around for a hardware combination (or a whole box) that specifically runs the latest Windows servers. The price of that is worrying, and I need do the research. I've been lucky for the last 20 years because old work PCs could be rebranded as home servers without any hiccups at all -- *Greg*
+1 vote for just running the Win servers in VMs on Windows 11. Works well.

Just put the server in a vm on win11. All your problems will go away. David Connors david@connors.com // +61 417 189 363 On Sun, 17 Mar 2024 at 10:17 am, Greg Keogh via ozdotnet < ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com> wrote:

Okay, a consensus from such distinguished persons. I'm reconsidering my way forward -- *Greg K*

or use Linux as host and the server to a VM. It would be much more stable that way as you don't want your host to be restarted along with Windows update. On Sun, 17 Mar 2024 at 12:11, Greg Keogh via ozdotnet <ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com> wrote:
