Windows Server 2022 install on an outside VM such as VirtualBox or VMWare Pro
Has anyone ever come across installation issues with trying to install on a VM such as VirtualBox or VMWare Pro. I had a successful install of this on a PC but had to delete/uninstall it due to problems I had while use. I then tried to reinstall using several different methods but keep getting errors like this:
I've tried contacting MS for help but cannot get any answers that work. Can someone please respond? Thank you.
UPDATE: Just wanted to add that it should not be a licensing issue as I redid the same steps I used for the first install (from scratch). This did not change anything.
Glad to hear, please don't forget to mark best response.
