Im new here and i have no clue about servers. I recently bought a poweredge R410 with 64gb ram 16 core 2Tb single SAS hd. I downloaded windows server 2012 from microsoft and i failed to install it. There is no clear way online to do so. My goal is actually to install windows 7 on it in case my softwares didnt work on the server os.

Forgive me for my noob question but i really hope that i can find a clear answer.

I downloaded windows server 2012 from microsoft and i failed to install it.

Some details about the failure would be helpful.

There is no clear way online to do so.

You can use the LifeCycle Controller to install Windows Server 2012/2012R2.

AFAIK, Windows Server 2016 and 2019 aren't supported on the R410.
