Windows Server 2008 R2 to 2012 R2 update

I have a volume license for Windows 2012 R2 and I would like to update my Windows 2008 R2 to 2012 R2.
The problem is, when I download the English 2012 R2 ISO from the volume license center I'm getting the Spanish version of 2016!!!

So my question is, will I be able to use the evaluation version of 2012 R2 to upgrade my volume version of 2008 R2 and then apply the license key OR is there another place i can download the iso for Windows Server Standard 2012 R2 that will give me the correct ISO?

Thanks
Sean

    Hi @Sean Agostini ,

    It's not possible to perform an in-place upgrade using Windows Server evaluation media, you might want to contact the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) support:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/licensing/product-technical-support

    or contact them here:
