Why run Windows 10 applications on Windows Server
Full Windows 10 application compatibility
Windows Server 2016 and 2019 share the same kernel as Windows 10. Your desktop software, UWP apps, modern .NET applications, and Win32 tools all run on Windows Server without modification.
Windows Subsystem for Linux available
Windows Server 2019 and newer include WSL, letting you run Linux command-line tools alongside your Windows applications. Use bash, Python, Node.js, and other Linux tools without a separate Linux VPS.
Modern browser and web app support
Install Chromium-based browsers like Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome on Windows Server for web-based business tools and applications. Full extension support, PDF viewing, and progressive web apps.
Built-in security features
Windows Server includes Windows Defender antivirus, firewall, and exploit protection. Combined with our virtual TPM, you get BitLocker encryption and Credential Guard for enterprise-grade security.
PowerShell 5.1 and modern tooling
Windows Server includes the same PowerShell version as Windows 10, plus support for modern development tools, package managers like winget, and automation frameworks for your workflows.
Stable, long-term support
Windows Server receives regular security patches without the forced feature updates of Windows 10 desktop. Your applications run in a consistent, predictable environment with years of mainstream support.
