I have a more basic question (first thread was closed already): Following my RN526 Datasheet Windows Server is only approved up to 2012 R2. I'd prefer installing WS 2019 Essentials, according to earlox saying he has done it? But need to be sure before spendig the licence fees.

 

The software manual does include WS 2019 (see page 12): https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/READYNAS_OS_6_SM_EN.pdf I expect the datasheet simply wasn't updated.  It also still has the drive limit of 10 TB, which hasn't been true for some time.

If possible is there a link or doc how to install on a NAS? I only did that on a regular PC before.

I'm not sure what you are asking.  Are you planning to set up an iSCSI LUN as a VM datastore?  Or something else?
