If you are coming back to this after creating your instance. You can follow these steps.

Click the start button bottom left, and then server manager.
Close annoying popup window.
Now click Manage top right OR
Add Roles in the main view
Follow through the prompts
Click on Web Server (IIS)
Click Add Features
Should be installing now
Close when done
An unnecessary notification will say it is done.

Lets check out the path to the files that will show on our configured window’s instance.

Click on the file explorer
Then This PC
Then click on local disk (C:)

After you get a file and store it, you will see it here.

Then inetpub
then wwwroot
Now we are at the path to the first web page that shows on our server.

Lets give our server some html

Click start
open notepad
Create this note

Save it with the following file path: This PC -> Local Disk -> inetpub -> wwwroot, name it index.html and any file setting for the type.

Lets copy the public DNS and paste it in the browser.

Yay thats the code from the html we made!
