• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Sure
• D. Not Applicable

Answer: (A)

Installing Windows Server in a virtual machine is typically done by mounting the installation ISO to the VM’s virtual optical drive and booting from that drive. The ISO image is a complete copy of the Windows Server 2019 installation media, and attaching it to the VM’s virtual DVD allows the VM to boot directly into the Setup wizard just as it would from a physical disc. In most virtualization tools, you select the VM, add or choose a virtual CD/DVD, and point it to the Windows Server ISO, then ensure the VM is set to boot from that optical drive. This method is standard because ISO images are portable, easy to manage, and don’t require any physical media. While other boot methods exist (like network PXE or USB in some setups), attaching the ISO to the virtual DVD drive is the typical, expected way to start the installation, which is why this statement is true.
