    I have downloaded Microsoft Server but is the ISO file really over 5 TB (5 198 078 KB)? I have downloaded it two times and both times the same size. Windows Server 2012 installation was in a 32 GB USB stick.

    Try formatting it NTFS. File is a little too big for Fat32 file system.

    Do you know, that Powershell is an executable that can be started from
    "whatever allows to type in commands" ...
     
    By the way: Install new and decide the right kind of installation from
    the beginning.

    Your conversion is incorrect 5,198,078 KB is roughly 4.95 GB

    Sorry for my mistake. But why I get the message that the file is too big even I try to copy it to a 32 GB USB stick?

    Thank you again Patrick

    I thought that the stick was NTFS because I  had there Server 2012. I formatted it laterand probably just Fat32. Now I could download Server 2016 ISO there.

    It is KB -> MB -> GB -> TB
    5 198 078 KB / 1024 = 5.076,25MB / 1024 = 4,96 GB / 1024 = 0,0048 TB(!)

    Actually I knew that but I counted wrong (see above). Unfortunately my Computer could not boot from a USB stick although I copied the ISO file there. I also tried to make a bootable USB stick (see  http://www.thomasmaurer.ch/2016/10/create-a-usb-stick-for-windows-server-2016-installation) but now the Computer booted normal Windows 7, not from a stick. In both times I booted the Computer using the Boot Menu.

    FAT32 or NTFS formated USB Stick?
    Try one or the other way.

    On the link I gave the stick was formatted as Fat32 but it didn't succeed. So, I formatted the stick to NTFS and then I could copy the ISO to the stick (not to 8 GB but to 16 GB). And although I gave the stick it's own letter, no success. I there a possibility to run the ISO file's Setup to run the installation?

    Most likely you'll need to mount the iso and copy the files over then boot from that. You can follow along here.

    Hi again

    Now I've gone a bit forward but then a new problem appeared. The installation started well but after some reboots there was only cmd lines (lock, task manager et.) and all the other display were black.

    Unfortunately the guidelines were meant to PowerShell and I have only the command prompt in the server.
