Hi, @alsa2016
Currently, DigitalOcean only allows the deployment of Linux based OS’s. You may be able to achieve this however by creating your own custom Windows ISO image and then using that when creating your Droplet.
I recommend that you add your vote to the Windows Server idea on our Product Ideas Board as well as commenting your use-case there so that our teams can better understand the demand for this.

Hello,
As mentioned above, we don’t directly provide the support of Windows image, however you can bring you own custom image and use it on our platform.
Refer to below link, which provides more insights:

At the moment Windows is not natively supported on Digital Ocean’s droplets, but you can spin up a Paperspace instance of Windows.
Paperspace is a cloud-based machine learning platform that offers GPU-powered virtual machines and a Kubernetes-based container service.
The Windows 10 licensed edition is the most popular. This template is technically a Server edition of Windows but looks and feels like a regular desktop operating system. Paperspace also offers an unlicensed version of Windows 10 (referred to as BYOL) which requires you bring your own Windows license.

Hope that this helps!
