Follow the Certificate Import Wizard to import your Primary Certificate from the .pfx file. When prompted, choose to automatically place the certificates in the certificate stores based on the type of the certificate.
In your IIS manager, right-click on the site that you would like to use the certificate and select properties.
Click on the Directory Security Tab and hit the Server Certificate Button. This will start the server certificate wizard.
If you are asked what you want to do with the current certificate on the site, choose to remove it, finish the wizard, and click the server certificate button to run the wizard again.
Choose to ‘Assign an existing certificate’ to the site and choose the new certificate that you just imported and supply the password used to create the pfx file.
Finish the certificate wizard.
Restart the server.
