Internet Information Services (IIS) is a web server that satisfies requested HTML files or pages.
An IIS web server accepts requests from remote computers and then returns the appropriate response using ASP.NET.
IIS works through different protocols and languages.
IIS has been released with different versions for the different operating systems.
So, to check which version is on your PC, you must first install it.
From theWindows Featureswindow, scroll down and expandInternetInformation Services.
Then check the boxes below it to fire up the selective IIS features.Enable IIS
Once done, clickOk.
The wizard will now attempt to apply the changes.
Once completed, clickClose.
IIS will now be installed on your PC.
If you no longer require it in the future, disabling it is just as easy.
Simply open theWindows Featuresagain and uncheck the IIS options.
You should now see a screen somewhat like the one below.
Note:The display can be different depending upon which version of IIS is running on your PC.
you’re free to also determine the IIS version from Windows Registry.
Therefore, we insist that you create asystem restore pointbefore proceeding forward with the process.
Closing Words
Not everyone needs to enable IIS on their computers.
We recommend you disable it if you do not need it.
IIS is only required if you plan to host a website or static HTML page on your machine.
That said, enabling or disabling it is a piece of cake thanks to the Windows interface.
