    Windows Server 2016 Essentials on Dell latitude e6540 laptop

    Hi,

    i have a very small/space constrained office in Manhattan and i want to setup a domain controller. i don't have space for a full server so i'd like to install Windows Server 2016 Essentials on refurbished Dell latitude e6540 laptop with 256GB SSD and 16GB
    ram. Is there anything that would prevent this from working?

    Thanks,

    Al

    Problem Upgrading Dell Latitude E6540 to Windows 10

    Hello everyone,

    I have a Dell Latitude E6540 currently running Windows 7 Professional. I'm trying to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro.

    I downloaded the upgrade tool, however it says my display is not compatible with 10. I have done numerous chats with Dell about the issue and have been unsuccessful in finding a solution.

    The current display drivers are:

    AMD Radeon HD 8790M

    Intel HD Graphics 4600

    Mirage Driver

    Has anyone else run into this problem?

    Thank you for your help in advance!

    Jeremy

    Windows Server 2016 Essentials on Dell latitude e6540 laptop

    Hi AAAAtech

    During the first Insider Preview for Windows Server 2016, I tried it out on a Acer laptop. One of the things I noticed about it in comparison to previous server releases was it had limited hardware detection. Power Management in particular was a problem and
    there was some issues with the NIC.

    I had Windows 10 on another partition which had excellent hardware detection and I tried to use those drivers which I had downloaded, but they did not work.

    Considering there are 64 bit Windows 10 drivers for your Dell e6540, you might have a better experience.

    If you don't have any driver issues, it should work just fine. Keep in mind, using a laptop as a server might not lead to a long life, since it will be playing the roll of a domain controller in addition to other rolls like, file and print. It might becoming
    taxing on it over time, especially if you have to keep it running 24-7.

    I would advise having a second e6540, so, if the first one fails, you can easily have a backup you can restore.
