How to properly run a home web server on Windows?
There is a static site with a phpBB forum with relatively high traffic, due to which the hoster constantly raises the fee (although everything is optimized to reduce the number of requests to the server, traffic is within 20-30k / day). I want to transfer to a home web server, but I don’t have much experience in administering servers (
Is it possible to make a full-fledged web server on Windows7 (or do I need to use Windows Server)?
Where can I find detailed instructions for setting up a web server on Windows?

Well, in any case, you will need a server axis - WinServer, at least. In addition, a server at home is a sign of a geek who is able and able to perform all the necessary administrative functions.
Which?
1. The server must work somewhere - it must be turned on 24x7, so it will need a separate piece of hardware.
2. The piece of iron needs space
3. The piece of iron eats electricity, it needs guaranteed power, that is, UPS
4. The piece of iron is noisy
5. The piece of iron contains wearing components, it can fail - that is, you need a server backup
6. The server needs a channel of a certain width, which you will not provide wire (because "up to 100Mb ...", not "100Mb ...")
Yes, in some cases, the server at home is the elimination of certain types of headaches. But that's only good for admins, IT security guys, etc - for whom it's part of their job. It will be difficult for a normal person to master all this ..
I won't even discuss Windows/Linux

On Windows, a normal server cannot be configured.
You can install a virtual machine with linux on Windows and practice.
It is very easy to set up, the Internet is full of instructions and videos, where everything is told in detail.
