[NOOB] How to setup Windows Server 2012 R2 for website testing and maybe hosting to the web?

Hi, I am completely new to Windows Server or any sort of server OS. I am someone with HTML knowledge and have tinkered with Javascript. I have also done basic frontend work with WordPress.

I recently dug out my old PC and installed Windows Server 2012 R2 onto it which I received through my school. My intentions are to use it as a test environment and just something to learn with.

Currently I am working for a company managing content on a weird CMS they use and I am in the process of switching them off their current CMS onto WordPress but I do not know anything about the backend and configuring the server (they run Windows Server).

We do have someone that knows the backend and will be handling that at work but I want to learn it for myself so I dont have to rely on him.

So I have Windows Server installed at home and have not touched any of the settings.

What should I do to turn it into a test server that I could install PHP, MySQL and WordPress?

PLEASE HELP!!!
