Windows 10 as a Server
Running Windows 10 as a Windows IIS server from your desktop...
There are scattered resources out there on how to do this, but they don't seem very complete or concise.

Then go to Control Panel to activate your Windows copy. The upgrade serial key will work fine.

The error message you get when trying to verify additional addresses doesn’t help either; it instead tells you the confirmation code “does not match our records” (even though you click on the link directly).
Yahoo Support told me it takes about 6 months for deleted addresses to clear from the max 10 limit, but I actually waited about a year before dealing with the issue and it still didn’t clear up. …[More]
