I installed Windows Server 2019 STD last year using the March 2019 ISO I got through my Visual Studio subscription. I use the server as a Hyper-V host on which I run 1 VM also same version of (Windows server 2019 STD as a PDC). I want to upgrade it to latest version using the september 2020 ISO but am unable to determine what's in this ISO in terms of version (1909?) or if I can even use it to upgrade.
Would someone please tell me:
Thanks,
Dan

To update to the latest build the simplest method is to turn on automatic windows updates. Latest OS Build is 17763.1457

otherwise you can install the latest SSU

I do have Windows Update turned on and looks like I'm already running the latest version. HoweverMy confusion is that winver tells me I'm running version 1809, and I thought that after 1 1/2 years there would have been a newer version. Thanks for the links.
Glad to hear, you're welcome. That sounds correct for long term servicing branch

Hi,
1.Windows Server 2019 will always be Version 1809, stops at 17763, you could refer to the following information:
And from the September update, the latest OS Build is 17763.1457.
2.If you want to upgrade the VM version in Hyper-V
Step 1: Check the virtual machine configuration versions
On the Windows desktop, click the Start button and type any part of the name Windows PowerShell.
Right-click Windows PowerShell and select Run as Administrator.
Use the Get-VMcmdlet. Run the following command to get the versions of your virtual machines.
*Get-VM * | Format-Table Name, Version*
Step 2: Upgrade the virtual machine configuration version
Shut down the virtual machine in Hyper-V Manager.
Select Action > Upgrade Configuration Version. If this option isn't available for the virtual machine, then it's already at the highest configuration version supported by the Hyper-V host.

Hope above information can help you.
