Install Windows Server 2022 Core: A Step-by-Step Guide
In this article, we will demonstrate how to download and install Windows Server 2022 Core using the latest ISO installation media. When it comes to installing Server 2022 on a VM, the server core is the default installation choice.
According to Microsoft, the Server Core option is a minimal installation option that is available when you are deploying the Standard or Datacenter edition of Windows Server. Server Core includes most but not all server roles. Because of its smaller code base, Server Core has a smaller disk footprint and, as a result, a smaller attack surface.
You should install Windows Server 2022 using the Server Core option whenever possible. Windows Server 2022 includes new features and is the most secure version of Windows Server currently available.
A Server Core is a smaller installation that includes the core components of Windows Server and supports all server roles but does not include a local graphical user interface (GUI). It is used for “headless” deployments that are managed remotely through Windows Admin Center, PowerShell, or other server management tools.

The Server Core option removes all code associated with the Desktop Experience server role and has a small disk footprint. Because of the smaller code base, the attack surface is significantly reduced, and Windows Server Core requires fewer reboots because there are fewer security patches each month.

To get the server 2022 Core ISO media from the download locations listed above, you will need a valid account to access the portal. If you don’t have access to either of the portals, you can go to the Microsoft Evaluation Center (Download Link) and download the latest version of Windows Server 2022 Core.
Please note that when you download the Server 2022 Core ISO from the evaluation center, the evaluation edition expires in 180 days. To avoid automatic shutdown, evaluation versions of Windows Server must be activated via the internet within the first 10 days.
The Microsoft Evaluation Center offers the following options when you download the installation media for Server Core 2022:
- Try Windows Server on Azure
