Windows 2025 compatibility for Dell PowerEdge T640
Hello! Wanted to confirm that I could run Microsoft Windows 2025 Standard OS on a Dell T640 tower server. This wouldn't be an issue correct? Thank you!

Hello,
I'm sorry, I do not see Microsoft Windows 2025 Standard as supported OS:

While Dell might not support Server 2025 on the T640 directly, it does officially support VMware ESXi 7 and 8, which are certified to support Server 2025. So this is a legitimate solution to where you must be running vendor approved configurations. And ESXi 8 is currently available in a free version from Broadcom.
And for the record, even the older Tx30 and Rx30 series are supported in the same way under ESXi 7.
After performance testing on a R730, were now rolling out this config on our R440s.
