Windows 10 or 11 as a server

Question

We have a client who is convinced that he can run WIndows 10 or 11 as a server because his software vendor told him he could.

Clearly in the EULA it says you can't use it as a server. Is there a phone number at Microsoft I can refer him to?

Answer 1

Well they are free to call it a server if they want but it simply won't be. The OS will be subject to the limitations of a desktop operating system regardless.

Answer 2

Right, I have tried to educate them as best as possible but with software vendors (who have no legal responsibility give correct information) telling him he can, he wants to believe them, because that is what he wants to hear.
