PowerEdge: How to Download Current Available Windows Server Media ISOs

If you want to reinstall a Windows Server OS on your PowerEdge, but do not have the original Windows installation media at hand, you can download the matching ISO-file directly from the Microsoft website (after filling the registration form).

These versions start in trial mode and can be activated with an OEM Serial Key when converted.

 

Windows Server Version	Download Source
Windows Server 2016 Windows Server 2016 Essentials Windows Server 2019 Windows Server 2019 Essentials Windows Server 2022 ​​​​Windows Server 2025	Microsoft Evaluation Center

Note: The evaluation version must be converted to a full retail version
.

Server Standard Core installs cannot be converted from Evaluation. You must choose Desktop Experience at the time of installation to be able to convert to a fully licensed version.

Note: If the server is an Active Directory domain controller, it cannot be converted to Retail.

For other Windows installation media, browse the Microsoft Evaluation Center
or the download section of Microsoft.com
