Why run Windows 11 applications on Windows Server
Full Windows 11 application compatibility
Windows Server 2022 and 2025 share the same kernel as Windows 11. Your modern desktop software, .NET 6+ apps, Win32 applications, and UWP tools all run on Windows Server without modification.
WSL2 with real Linux kernel
Windows Server 2022 and newer include WSL2, running a real Linux kernel. Use Linux command-line tools, containers, and development environments alongside your Windows applications on the same server.
Enterprise-grade security built in
Windows Server 2022+ includes virtualization-based security (VBS), Credential Guard, and hardware-rooted boot integrity. Combined with our virtual TPM, you get BitLocker encryption and a hardened security baseline.
Latest .NET and runtime support
Windows Server 2022/2025 supports .NET 8+, modern Visual C++ runtimes, and the latest Windows SDKs. Applications built for Windows 11 find all the frameworks and libraries they need.
Modern desktop via Remote Desktop
Connect via RDP and get a full Windows desktop with modern rendering, multi-monitor support, and smooth performance. Manage your applications in a familiar desktop environment from any device.
AI and productivity tools supported
Install modern AI-powered tools like Microsoft Copilot, GitHub Copilot, and other productivity applications on Windows Server. The same modern APIs your Windows 11 tools depend on are available.
