Transcript : The Video Purpose

In this video i will show you how you can deploy a free Microsoft server 2016, 2019 or 2022 evaluation edition, and because the VPS I will be using also comes with a free introductory period , you can follow along at no cost to you, and then decide if this solution offers anything you would like to continue using. All 3 windows version will give you basically the same capabilities, so I will continue with one of them , server 2022, just to show you some of them. When on the VPS desktop you can see your local PC drives allowing you to access any files you need from there, or even to save work that was done on the VPS.

So, by the end of this video you will have a powerful machine, with a free full Windows Server desktop on it, separate from your current PC, , all without putting your current machine at risk.
