Microsoft does not provide a download link for RSAT for Windows 11… but that’s because it’s all included by default.
If you work as a Windows server administrator, you’re probably familiar with Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT). However, if you’re upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11, you may have noticed that there’s no option to download RSAT for your new operating system on the Microsoft website. This is due to the fact that you can install these programs from within Windows 11.
Here’s how to install RSAT directly from Windows 11.
How to Install RSAT in Windows 11
The simplest approach to install RSAT is through the settings on Windows 11. So, right-click Windows and select Settings. Select Apps, followed by Optional features.
Click the View features button on the right of the Add an optional feature option (the first one on the page) to bring up a pop-up for adding RSAT features.

Then, check the RSAT features you wish to install and press the Install button.
The pop-up will close, and the download status of the features will be visible in the Recent actions area.
By right-clicking Start and selecting Windows Terminal (Admin), you may view all of the RSAT capabilities you’ve installed. UAC will prompt you, and you should click Yes to allow the software to make changes to your PC.
Then, in Windows Terminal, copy and paste the following command and press the Enter key.
