Assisted Windows Server OS Installation

This is the recommended method for installing a supported OS on your server. This method
involves using Oracle System Assistant. You deliver the Windows OS installation media on
either a local or remote CD/DVD drive, USB device, or CD/DVD image, and Oracle System
Assistant guides the installation process and gathers and installs the needed drivers when
necessary. Your server must support Oracle System Assistant, and it must be installed in the
server.

Manual Windows Server OS Installation

With this method, you deliver the Windows distribution media on either a local or remote CD/
DVD drive, USB device, or CD/DVD image. You also need to install any necessary drivers.
