Questions about a Windows-based home server.

Back in 2009 I built a home server that used the now-discontinued Windows Home Server as an OS. I've heard that Windows 10 can serve as an OS for a home server.

Could anyone here please point me to resources for how to set up a Windows 10 system as a home server? Particularly, I'm interested in how to set up data redundancy/mirroring for the feature of being able to sustain a failed hard drive without lost data. https://discord.software/ https://omegle.onl/ https://vshare.onl/

Any suggested builds for ~$750 would be appreciated, as well. Thanks!

I can't help but agree with this.

Previous was running W7 as a HTPC, home server, games box. Due to software issues, I updated to W10 pro (cheap copy picked up online) and have been using stablebit since the start of January. It's been great, the email alerts work well. Tested quite extensively with a new drive I added to the pool which developed an intermittent fault pretty quickly that took a bit of time to work out what was going on (between drive, cables or other hardware). https://www.prepaidgiftbalancex.info/ https://www.mywmtotalrewards.info/

As already said, I'd mirror avoiding anything made my Microsoft for your data integrity, storage spaces I've heard nothing positive about.
