Installing Server Win 2022
I have purchased a server computer (empty) and am trying to install winserver 2022. I purchased a license for Windows server 2022 standard. When I try to install the software, I get a response that I have as Target Edition: ServerDatacentercor. Thus, cannot installation is completed. What's wrong?

- It's known "glitch" with refreshed Server eval ISOs since 2019
you can still attempt to set edition to ServerStandardCor, it will give error 1168 at the end, but reboot nevertheless and it could be converted
otherwise, use base (unupdated) Server eval ISO

- Hi, jag har installerat om och valt ServerStandardEval . Bingo, men ingen av mina aktiveringsnycklar fungerar. Måste jag köpa ny nyckel för att få en standard server?
Thank you for your reply. I have followed your advice but no change. I did my first attempt on a laptop. Therefore, I invested in a new Lenovo Think system ST50 V2. Now I have been working on this for 3 weeks with no success. I have access to two activation keys and now I'm considering buying a third. When you buy a car, you get both a steering wheel and a key, and then you drive the car without any action other than starting the engine.
