    Unfortunately, you are going to have to reinstall. The option to add the GUI to server core is not available in WS2022.

    "Note

    Unlike some previous releases of Windows Server, you cannot convert between Server Core and Server with Desktop Experience after installation. You will need to do a clean installation if you install later decide to use a different option."

    Upgrade to convert is also not supported.

    • Upgrades that switch from a Server Core installation to a Server with Desktop Experience installation (or vice versa) are not supported.
