Note: My MacMini has been though a few hardware changes since I’ve had it – the SSD and half the memory are now in another system for the time being, so the MacMini is back to its stock setup with 4GB RAM and a 500GB laptop HDD. When I want to run my homelab/test environment I can simply plug the USB back in an then boot back into ESXi as normal. This created the possibility of simply removing the USB pen drive from the Mac and installing Server 2016 directly on the local disk. As ESXi runs directly off of a pen drive the local disk isn’t being used for storage. I’d also considered installing to a virtual machine on my MacMini that is currently running ESXi. I’d planned on creating a test VM on my HP Microserver Gen8 but its puny Celeron CPU just doesn’t have the grunt that I need to be able to play around with Server 2016 properly. After much build up and fanfare, Windows Server 2016 has now been officially launched.
