This topic describes the different installation options for Windows Admin Center, including installing on a Windows 10 PC or a Windows server for use by multiple admins. To install Windows Admin Center on a VM in Azure, see [Deploy Windows Admin Center in Azure](../azure/deploy-wac-in-azure.md).

We don’t recommend using Windows Admin Center for local management of the same server on which it’s installed. To manage a server, use Windows Admin Center to connect to the server remotely from a management PC or other server.

## Installation: Supported web browsers

Microsoft Edge (including [Microsoft Edge insider](https://microsoftedgeinsider.com)) and Google Chrome are tested and supported on Windows 10. Other web browsers—including Internet Explorer and Firefox—are not currently part of our test matrix and are therefore not *officially* supported. These browsers may have problems running Windows Admin Center. For example, Firefox has it’s own certificate store, so you must import the `Windows Admin Center Client` certificate into Firefox to use Windows Admin Center on Windows 10. For more details, see [browser-specific known issues](../support/known-issues.md#browser-specific-issues).
