I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 OEM running, I need to update to a more current version. Can I upgrade to a Windows Server 2022 Evaluation version?

Thank You!

    Hello,

    You need to purchase a new license for Windows Server 2019 from the Microsoft Store or an authorized reseller. After obtaining a new license, you can perform a clean installation.

    Hello,

    upgrading from Windows Server 2012 R2 to Windows Server 2022 directly is not supported. You will need to first upgrade to Windows Server 2016 or 2019, and then upgrade to Windows Server 2022.

    Microsoft recommends performing a clean installation of Windows Server 2022 for optimal performance and stability.

    Hope it helps.

    Best regards

    @Zunhui, OK mas ainda posso obter a avaliação do Windows Server 2019? Ou terei que comprar licenças do Windows Server 2022 e depois solicitar um downgrade para a licença do Windows Server 2019?

    Obrigado!
