I just bought a brand new Lenovo (idealpad) laptop with Windows 7 Home Basic. There's no operating system DVD along with the stock, but the laptop does have OS recovery software, if you ever want to burn them on a DVD. I guess most hardware is being sold that way today.
Anyway, I want to use IIS. I followed these steps to install it. I went to Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows features on or off. I selected Internet Information Services from the list and let it install it. I think it must've gotten installed.
But now, I can't find it. I tried these steps to locate inetmgr but neither can I find the MMC Snap-in UI. Where do I find IIS? I have even rebooted the machine and checked but no luck.

Guys, I installed IIS Express and have checked a lot pages on the Web but I cannot see the IIS snap-in (inetmgr) on my Windows 7 Home Basic box. Please help!!!!!!!!!

Microsoft Download Manager is free and available for download now. IIS 10.0 Express is a simple and self-contained version of IIS 10.0 that is optimized for developers. Note: There are multiple files available for this download. Once you click on the "Download" button, you will be prompted to select the files you need.
On the desktop, hover the mouse cursor in the upper right corner of the screen, and then click Settings. Click Control Panel. Click System and Security, and then click Administrative Tools. In the Administrative Tools window, double-click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
Check out IIS Express.
I have fallen in love with it and I'm sure you will to.

Open the Command Prompt and type
Iisreset /noforce
If this errors out IIS wasnt installed correctly or was not installed at all.
