I started the install of my first virtual server on VMWare and attempted to install the trial version of windows server 2019. Since it is a vm, I would expect it to be a clean install. But instead I got this message screen.
Since it was the first install on a clean VM, I don't understand why I got this screen.
Is it safe to install on the VM or will it overwrite my laptop OS. (Windows 10)
thanks,

We can't see your screen so we don't really know but this is a normal dialog when installing Windows Server. Hopefully it is inside of a virtual machine. Choose the second option (custom) to install windows. It isn't possible to do an in-place upgrade using evaluation media. It also is not possible to in-place upgrade a desktop OS to Windows Server OS

Just checking if there's any progress or updates?

@Dave Patrick Yeah I was just checking that it was safe to proceed, as I am only used to getting this message on a installation where there is already and OS installed.
Thanks
