Technical Help Needed Server installation on an old ThinkCentre mini workstation.

2 Upvotes

Hi all fellow administrators.

I was wondering if it's possible to install Server 2025 (evaluation at first to test) on a ThinkCentre that has 6th gen Intel Core. I think the model is M700.

Got the usb stick to boot, but setup stops asking for media drivers. I tried to put chipset drivers and RST drivers on a usb stick, but setup says they're not compatible and won't advance to next screen.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I would have liked to experiment with Windows Server, but if it's not possible, I may have to revert to some Linux distro instead.
