Installing Windows Server 2016 on Lenovo X270 ThinkPad

I love to install Windows Server OS into my laptop. Everytime, there are always new challenges. Here are some of them.

  1. Use Rufus (https://rufus.akeo.ie/) to create a bootable UEFI USB drive with the Windows Server 2016
    • Make sure you select GPT partition & FAT32
    • If you install Windows using the wrong mode, you won’t be able to use the features of that firmware mode without reformatting the drive. One of them being BitLocker which you won’t be able to turn it on if you’ve installed in the BIOS mode.
  2. After installing Windows Server 2016, remember to install the Wireless LAN Service via Server Manager
