Oh god.. You'll have to learn IIS. Internet Inf🤮rmation Services.
In all seriousness Windows Server is much more enjoyable than Home/Pro/Enterprise or whatever the desktop versions are called. You have more control over the system and they don't hinder you from configuring stuff unlike on the desktop version.
Someone already suggested to get a VPS and just get to know the system. A tip though if you have to spin up a windows server on Azure vs somewhere else: search for info with the keyword "azure". Microsoft stuff seems to work worse on their own cloud than anywhere else. MS SQL Server and Azure's version of MS SQL Server differs and lacks features.
Been a long time since I had to use any of the above so things might have changed.
same. Thankfully it wasn't fathers day in my home country yet!
