Windows Server

Windows Server 2012

For the installation I have used Windows Server 2012 R2 trial version. If you already have a server operating system installed you can skip this step and proceed directly with SharePoint 2013 Installation.

Download Windows Server 2012 Image

You can download the image file from following location: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/hh670538.aspx.
The image file is 3.37 GB in size and you can extract or burn the image file to proceed with the installation. (ImgBurn is a tool to burn .img files to DVD.)
On running the bootable DVD you should be prompted with the setup.exe as shown below:
Use the GUI option in the further step:

Please note that this operating system installation step can be skipped if you already have Windows Server in place. Ensure your Operating System has a valid domain integration.

Tips

  1. Inside Windows 2012, Use Ctrl + Alt + Delete to view the Power Options screen and you can choose Shut Down, Restart etc.
  2. To access your Start Menu (Screen) use your Windows button or move mouse to the left bottom end of toolbar.
