they require me to manually install windows which is something i have no experience at


and if i choose the " i dont have a key option " i end up with

Not sure if i was involved in that tbh.

@IHaveALongName It says in your first image that you need a valid key to install the operating system. Have you tried to buy one? Then just follow the on-screen instructions. I would of thought the "I don't have a product key" would of continued installation and gave you 30 day's to activate it so kinda weird.

If you do try to buy one make sure you get the correct edition for the operating system you are trying to install. eg: home, professional etc.

It must have been @Chriz that helped me, was ages ago so my memory is alittle foggy.

I’m sure it was just that we needed to select the right folder and it worked.

Windows Server Home Edition? Seems legit

I remember the discussion about getting one. Then during the week you just had one. I don't remember there being any talks about problems installing the os on it.

Hmm good point they probably are server editions so ignore that part.

@IHaveALongName Did they provide you an .iso to install or are you using your own?

The folders contain the ISO and the installer handles the rest, I’m just not sure what folder I ended up using.

OVH is good an easy to use will cost about £110 per month. GTX also and you just select the windows u want installed from a drop down when purchasing. GTX around £90.

Both come DDOS protection as there game servers

Most likely cheaper alternatives but these are easy to use like u asked

SoYouStart is a subsiduary of OVH and offers the same stuff for cheaper, ive always used SYS for my live servers
