I've been hard pressed to find decent information on this topic. It's possible the answer is, you can't, but before I revert to that I wanted to ask here to be sure.
I have a Windows Server 2016 (Standard) 14393 running as a Hyper-V server for about 7 VMs. We have desktop experience installed. I understand that 17134 no longer includes desktop experience which is completely fine. However, I have not been able to find any information on upgrading beyond 14393.
Obviously the upgrade would end up removing Desktop Experience. This is fine as I'm not a fan of it anyways. But I haven't been able to locate information on how to do the upgrade in-place. I'm trying to stay away from a rip and replace option if possible because I don't have additional hardware available and I really would prefer not to spend a ton of money for hardware that will only be used for a few hours for the upgrade. We have already evaluated using Windows Azure as a temporary VM host during a rip and replace with the same hardware but the amount of time that would be involved in doing so, plus the time for testing and the fact that we have applications that just cannot live in a cloud environment keep us from doing so.
Is there any way of doing what I want to do?
