There is something strange in one of our server (Windows Server 2019). It don't accept administrator's password any more. Besides the is a account Guest in the logging in windows. And third, when I open Settings and User account, the program is closed immediately.

Is the any other solution than to re.install Windows?

    Hi

    I'm sorry but now I had time to download the eval version. I downloaded an ISO version and saved it on a USB stick. But when I tried to boot using it, I got an error message "An operating system wasn't found". What did I make wrong?

    You can't just copy the ISO to USB. Follow along here to prepare the stick, then mount the ISO and copy it over.

    Thank you very much Patrick

    I made a bootable USB stick and copied there the ISO file. But again I had the same error message.

    Sorry Patrick

    My native language is not English. Although I understand what mount usually means, I don't know what to do.

    On a windows 10 pc you can right-click the ISO, and choose mount. Then navigate to the newly mounted disk and copy everything over to the bootable USB
