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.

Hope that helps! Regards, Alex
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:
