ML350 Gen10

[AdieScot]

Hi I have a Proliant ML350 Gen 10 server that was gifted to me. Now I dont need or use it as a server but a fast Win 10 cumputer as a fileserver being a private individual, and it works just fine for my needs as a amateur photogragher. The issue I would like advice about is how can I make it simply boot straight to the windows 10 rather than it going thought its server boot system as I would like to upgrade it upto win 11 but due to the boot issue it just wont complete as it gets stuck on the HPE logo. Thanks Adrian

Hello.
I don't recommend installing Windows 10 with ML350 Gen10.

However, if you proceed with the installation, you must immediately recognize the installation ISO file and install the drivers separately without proceeding with Intelligent Provisioning.

Still, do you want to use Windows 10?

Hi, And I thank you for your input but as I mentioned I have had windows 10 running on it for quite some time and with no problems and it makes for a good file server. But after a long search I managed to obtain a TPM2 Module for it (trust me there like hens teeth to find in the uk) from Poland so now it is upgradable to Windows 11 for free and it goes through the download and install ok but as with all windows installs it likes to restart a few times to complete install, but as the ML350 has a prolonged boot I presume the install throws a wobbly and goes back to ver 10. So raises the question asked can you boot direct rather than prolonged, I fear not given the google answers. But yet again thanks for your input. Have a great w/end.

I changed the compute profile to graphics processing. Then I used a windows 10 pro USB key thats bootable. You can maike them off the  microsoft website. The performance on windows 10 on the ML350 Gen10 is amazing. I upgraded the processors to dual xeon platinum 8180s. 56 cores 112 threads is amazing for video processing.
