How to Show My Computer Icon on Windows 2012, R2 Server

As mentioned earlier, this feature is not included by default. If you can manage the server without  My computer icon on desktop or other personalization options, better continue with it without installing additional features. But if you desperately want my computer icon then follow these steps.
We must install ‘Desktop Experience’ feature to get back personalization options which will help to get My computer back on Windows 2012 R2 server desktop.
Go to ‘Add Roles and Features’ in server dashboard, select ‘Role-based or Feature-based installation’ , do not select anything in Server Roles, and under Features select ‘Desktop Experience’ as mentioned below.

Install other required features too.
You must restart the server after the installation.

Even though this feature would have added several options but our concern is to get My computer icon on desktop.
After the restart you must be seeing the ‘Personalize’ from right click menu from desktop (which was not shown in earlier screenshot).

Click on Personalize and ‘Change desktop icons’ at top left corner. It will bring back our traditional desktop icons settings like Windows 7 or 8.
Select the icons you want to show, in our case it is My Computer icon.

That will show My computer icon on Windows 2012 and R2 server desktop.
