Hello,
I am a student looking to acquire a copy of Windows Server for use at my home with my primary goal being gaining experience with it. Is there any way for me as a student to get at least a discounted copy? Not sure if there is a better topic to post this under but I could not find one.
Thanks

Hello! I am an Independent Advisor, I would love to help you out!\
You are able to get a free 180 trial of windows server here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-platform/...
You could download this trial again after 180 days again if you want to start from scratch again since this is mostly for gaining experience.
Seen on the pricing page there is no student discount:
