    1. Go to Start->Control Panel -> Programs
    2. Under Programs and Features, click “Turn Windows features on or off”
    3. Click “Internet Information Services”, You can also select which feature of IIS you want to enable or disable, select what you want to run, then click “OK”

    4. Once installed, you computer will be able to function as a web server. Please note that with IIS enabled, your computer may see a decrease in performance since there is an extra load on the system.

    5. To see your webpage, simply open your web browser and type in the address “ [ LINK ]
