I need to have sites running through IIS at port 443 and port 80 but these two ports are used by a System process (PID 4) with a description of NT Kernel & System after I run the netstat -aon command from an elevated command prompt?
What is the problem with this case and how can I end this process because I can't seem to end it.

I assume IIS is already installed on your server.
Part of IIS is the kernel mode driver http.sys which does the actual listening on the ports 80 and 443. Because it is a kernel mode drive, it runs within the system process.
http.sys forwards http requests to the user-mode part of IIS.
So you should be good to go.
