As long as you have a license for it then you can run it from vmware player/server or virtual PC from inside Win 7.
Just make sure VT is enabled in your BIOS

How can you guys possibly learn about it if you don't have access to a license or cannot afford one lol is there some kind of trail edition?

Download the trial from Microsoft's website

How long does the trial last and more importantly is there any way to take a capture of the configuration once you have it all up and running i.e so you don't have to start over again when you reconfigure

Many Thanks these may be noob questions sorry if they are

The evaluation version I'm seeing here (Try Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Trial) is good for 180 days, so you get 6 months.

On another note, even if the evaluation is for a shorter time, count any reinstall ou reconfiguration as additional practice.

Repetition. That's how you become proficient at most things.
