Windows 10: Trying to upgrade from Server 2012 R2 to Server 2016.

Keep getting "We can't tell if your PC has enough space to continue installing Windows Server 2016. Try restarting Setup. Over and over and over again. Any solutions?

Server 2012 R2 32 bit

Hello,

i am upgrading one of my servers that has windows server 2008 right now. I am trying to upgrade it to 2016 but i know i have to install 2012 first. My issue is that i cant find a 2012 R2 ISO in 32 bit. The 2008 server OS is currently a 32 bit system. Do you know where i can find a Server 2012 R2 32 bit or a work around?

 

Is it possible to upgrade Windows 10 to Server 2012 R2?


No. Windows Server 2012 R2 is the server version of Windows 8.1

The server version of Windows 10 has not yet been released, but it will be called Windows Server 2016.

And no, you cannot upgrade a desktop OS to a Server OS.

 

In Place upgrade from server 2012 r2 to Server 2019

Hello,

I am running server 2012 r2 standard and I am hoping to upgrade to server 2019 without losing my settings (server 2012 is our DNS, AD, DHCP)

I did some reading and to do an in place upgrade you need to upgrade to 2016 then to 2019.

I have an image of 2016 but it's an evaluation iso.

When I run the 2016 ISO I only have the option for a clean install and not an upgrade.

Is it because my 2012 is retail and 2016 is evaluation?

I don't want to purchase a retail copy of 2016 just to upgrade to 2019.

Am I missing something?
