Is it possible install WSL or windows terminal on windows server 2008 r2? - windows

I need to install WSL or windows Terminal to use it as a visual studio code terminal but I only find tutorials for windows 10 or windows server (2016, 2019)...
I don't know if I can install them or not on windows server 2008 r2.
Could you help me please?

Unfortunately WSL is not available for Windows Server 2008r2. The best you can achieve is to either to install Linux in a virtual machine leveraging HyperV on 2008r2, or perhaps using VMware Workstation or Virtualbox. Alternatively, for something more light weight you might get away with installing something like
Cygwin instead.

Unfortunately not. You can use Cygwin instead. It's old and out of date, but then so is Windows 2008, isn't it?

how to access WSL on Windows Server on AWS EC2?

WSL stands for Windows Subsystem for Linux. Is it even available on EC2?
All the guide I found talks about Windows Desktop, not server.
According to the docs: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2018/05/amazon-ec2-now-offers-windows-server-version-1709-and-1803-amis/
You can now use 1803 update with support for WLS.
As of August 2017, WSL is available on Windows Server insider builds..
Although I haven't tried it, I assume you could start a Windows Server 2016 instance and enable Windows Insider updates.
The installation guide for installing WSL on Windows Server is here.

Not able to log back into my Windows machine after Hyper-v installation

I have a Windows 10 machine. Recently I have installed Hyper-V 2016 server on my machine. From then whenever I start my system I only see a blue screen with various commands. I do not see any other thing other than that. Now how can I go back to my normal Windows machine?
See this image for reference:
you had Windows 10 installed on your machine now you have Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2016.
I assume you downloaded an ISO and installed that one. Whereas within Windows 10 you only have to activated a feature called Hyper-V.
Grap your latest Backups and install Windows 10 back onto your machine.

How can i open .vhdx using windows 7?

I have Windows 7 running on my machine, and other hand I have virtual hard disk file(.vhdx), which is creates using Windows 8. So as I know found,
Hyper-V isn't available on Windows 7 client SKUs, like Enterprise. It's only available on Windows Server 2008 x64 (some SKUs), Windows Server 2008 R2 (most SKUs), Windows 8 Professional x64, Windows 8 Enterprise x64, and Windows Server 2012 (again, most SKUs).
You've just installed the management tools which allow you to manage a remote instance of Hyper-V.
Is this correct ? If yes then is there any way i can open this .Vhdx in any other Softwares on Windows7 . Or how can I use it ?
I found below blog on "How to Restore VHD File backup" but looking for alternative way?
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/how-to-restore-vhd-file-backup/f3ed3ca5-3079-40cd-a959-835caeba80a7
Thank you
Royally late ... but I had the same problem and ended up implementing it in my software.
To answer your question
is there any way i can open this .Vhdx in any other Softwares on Windows7
You can use IsoBuster to open the *.vhdx files and extract files from the image file to your Windows 7 PC. ( download: www.isobuster.com/ )
I hope this helps ?

MS Windows server 2008 installation

Im installing windows server 2008 on my Windows 7.
It seems like I will need to reinstall all programs after installing MS windows server 2008. I dont really want to do that, is there another way around it?
And how can i find out whether I already have Windows Server installed on my computer? Thanks.
The two operating systems do not support an upgrade path. You could do some unsupported things, IE exporting registry entries and importing them manually, but you're not likely to get things working the same way. Further, some of your applications may not actually be supported on 2008.
