tiglda · October 1, 2025, 1:31pm

Hi,

I try to install Windows Server 2025 in Virtualization Station.

I create VM and connect iso file as CD/DVD - run the VM and system loading file form CD - after that the system loading install file again (loop)
As version of windows, i select Windows Server 2022 becouse 2025 is not at list.

Can anybody help me to install windows server 2025 ?

Regards

I installed Server 2025 Datacenter Desktop Edition and it works fine

Here the settings based on Server 2022 profile (only changed to passthrough CPU, TPM 2.0 and UEFI boot)

Here are the official MS processor specs for server 2025 (seems to be picky on the AMD side)

I have no issues with Server 2025 on my TVS-h1288X. I even have nested virtualization running with Hyper-V labs stacked on it.

Had this issue on our TS-H1277AXU-RP. Issue turned out to be the AMD CPU emulation. Switching it to emulate the Epyc CPU fixed the boot loop issue.

Hope this helps.
