Answered by:. Remember to leave enough space for the main operating system and enough for the second operating system. After recording the main operating system partition, right-click on the new unassigned space, select New simple volume and continue the process to create a new partition. Format it as NTFS and label it properly so that it can be easily recognized when installing the second operating system.
Connect the installation drive or insert the installation media for the second operating system and boot the computer from there. Go through the setup menu and select the second partition, in this case, Windows Server, as the destination for the second operating system.
Finish Windows installation as usual. Windows usually restarts the computer multiple times during the installation process. When restarting for the first time you will be prompted with the bootloader menu like the image below.
At this point, we will select the second operating system each time until the installation is complete. Now complete the dual boot setup process with Windows 10 and Windows Server, R2. Users can choose between two operating systems from the bootloader menu every time the computer boots. Many people will notice that the second operating system is now the default boot. This will open the System Configuration menu. Now open the Boot tab, select the operating system you want to set as default by clicking on it and then clicking the Set as default button.
Yes, Microsoft may say it will RUN fine, but it is not supported - again, just means finding driver and troubleshooting issues is up to you, and neither Microsoft nor Dell have any obligation to help with hardware support or drivers.
However, it appears you probably know this. I realize there would be a performance hit running Hyper-V in a virtual machine, if it is even possible VT may not pass through to support some OS's , so I'm not recommending that.
Fair enough. Just making sure you knew what was available : Client Hyper-V IS awesome, which is why I recommended it - there being very little one would benefit from the full-blown server version "little", of course, is relative - there may be "few" things to gain, but depending on your needs, that may be enough.
I do not take any responsibility if you do this and brick your brand new machine - I only say it works for me. Do you want to continue? Set up the system as you normally would. I did this and it's now running Windows Server Datacenter. Bada bing, bada boom. Browse Community. Windows General. Turn on suggestions.
