Introduction
The Internet Information Services (abbreviated IIS, formerly known as the Internet Information Server) is an extensible web server created by Microsoft for use with the Windows NT operating system. It ships with Windows 10, but is not active by default.

After installing, visit the URL http://localhost
to see the default start page. The default location of the start page
in the file system
is: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\iisstart.htm.
With the default IIS configuration, putting a file
named index.html in the webroot (i.e. C:\inetpub\wwwroot\) works as with Apache
2. The legacy start page is
http://localhost/iisstart.htm.
It will appear if index.html does not exist.
