How to experience a sample of "SharePoint Server On-Premises" on Windows?
It has been a long time goal for me to investigate the SharePoint Server On-Premises. What are the procedures to set it up and operate it on my Windows computer?
P.S.: It’s really challenging locating this information. Detailed explanations are appreciated. Thank you.
Here are a few points to consider:
You’ll require specific server versions depending on the SharePoint version—2012 R2 or newer for 2016, or 2016 or newer for 2019.
Set up an Active Directory domain is essential.
A valid SharePoint license key is necessary.
Standard or Enterprise SQL (SQL 2012 or newer) must be installed.
Having the Office client and SharePoint server on the same machine isn’t allowed.
You can get a server license for free for 180 days before needing a key; however, both SharePoint and SQL require purchasing a key.
If you meet most of these criteria, the installation guide is useful:
Install SharePoint Servers 2016 or 2019 on one server – SharePoint Server

You require a Windows Server OS, not the standard version.
