How do I install Windows Server 2019?

After creating a USB bootable drive, follow these steps to perform a clean installation:

1. Turn on your server so that Windows starts normally; insert the Windows Server USB, and then restart the server.
2. Your device will boot from the Windows Server USB device. Press any key when the message Press any key to boot from CD or DVD appears.

Note: If you restart your PC and the Windows Server installation doesn't start, you'll need to change the boot order in your PC's BIOS settings to boot from the USB.
3. Restart your PC and, when the manufacturer's logo appears, look for the BOOT menu key, which is usually F2, F10, F11, F12, or Del, to open the menu.
