b. Analyze a complex problem and identify and define the computing requirements
appropriate to its solution.
Windows Server 2025 is the very newest release of Microsoft’s flagship server operating
system, developed for meeting new demands put on modern IT infrastructure. Equipped
with advanced security out of the box, cloud integration capabilities, and much greater
performance, it will be a must-have for any organization seeking to build an environment
which will be reliable, scalable, and secure.
Knowing how installation works is key to smooth deployment, whether one is setting up
a server for the first time or upgrading from a previous version. We are going to walk
through the step-by-step installation process of Windows Server 2025 in this guide so
that we may set your system right from the very beginning. You will have, at the end of
this guide, a robust server environment ready to go for everything from file sharing and
virtualization to advanced application hosting.
