Revit on windows server 2016 error

[Anonymous]

I have been trying to install revit on a windows server 2016 machine but the setup initialization is failing. Isn’t it supported to run on windows server. Should it be windows 10 only?

Windows Server 2016 is not a supported OS at this time

Yes, the Minimum: Entry-Level Configuration for running Revit 2018 is as follows:

Operating system 

Microsoft® Windows® 7 SP1 64-bit:
Enterprise, Ultimate, Professional, or Home Premium

Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-bit:
Enterprise, Pro, or Windows 8.1

Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit:
Enterprise, or Pro

But isn't Windows Server 2016 basically Windows 10 64bit?  If windows 10 is support so should Windows Server 2016.  What is different about server 2016 that would cause it to not work.  We are seeing graphic display problems in the 3d views.

Is there a physical graphics card on the server?
