AWS mgn documentation change

Service: mgn · 2025-04-11 · Documentation low

File: mgn/latest/ug/add-server-server-page.md

Summary

Updated verb tenses and grammatical structure for clarity (e.g., 'will open' to 'opens', 'will download' to 'downloads'). Maintained existing security warning about legacy Windows installer usage.

Security assessment

Changes are grammatical improvements and tense standardization. Existing security warning about not using legacy Windows installer on other OS types remains but wasn't added by this change.
