Need to test a website or web app locally? You don’t need XAMPP or WAMP — Windows already has tools to do it quickly.

⚙️ Step 1: Enable Windows Subsystem for Linux (Optional)

1. Press Windows + X → Terminal (Admin).

2. Run: wsl --install

This installs Linux tools for advanced users.

🧩 Step 2: Use Python’s Simple Server

1. Open your project folder in File Explorer.

2. Right-click → Open in Terminal.

3. Run: python -m http.server 8080

4. Visit http://localhost:8080 to view your site.

⚡ Step 3: Quick Alternative

Use VS Code + Live Server Extension for instant previews.

🚀 Or try a prebuilt version like Luckyy’s Local Web Preview App — it launches HTML/JS projects in one click.

✅ Conclusion

Running a local web server on Windows 11 is easier than ever — no need for heavy software
