    Hello   A_saeed，

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

    Yes, you can convert Windows Server 2019 Datacenter to Standard without formatting. You can do this by using the DISM command-line tool. Here are the steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter: DISM /Online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /ProductKey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX /AcceptEula
    3. Replace the "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX" with your valid Windows Server 2019 Standard product key.
    4. Wait for the process to complete.
    5. Restart the server.

    Note: Before proceeding with the conversion, it is recommended to take a backup of your server and verify that your product key is valid for the Standard edition.

    I hope the information above is helpful.

    If you have any question or concern, please feel free to let us know.

    Best Regards,

    Haijian Shan
