    Install Server 2016 question

    Thanks everyone. I have downloaded Microsoft Hyper-V server 2016 and Windows server 2016 Datacenter. If I understood correctly, I should install hyper-V (clean install) and then reinstall Windows 10? After that is complete I should install server 2016? My PC does support Virtualization.
