Microsoft Recommendation on Upgrade Path from 2012R2 to 2022?
Hello, Doing some searches on the web, it's not clear if there is an upgrade path from 2012R2 to 2022 Windows Server. From the link, I was wondering if there is an upgraded diagram, or if Microso...
- Did a in-place upgrade from 2012 R2 to 2019 just last week for two servers, no issues.. It just depends on the installed software/drivers/anti-virus etc if it will work. But nobody thinks twice about upgrading Windows 7 tot 8 to 8.1 to 10 to 11 😉 Upgrading does work and having issues in the future because of it is something of the past in my experience. If you can migrate to a new server without a lot of work.. Please do so, but it is still an option (But keep your backup and snapshots close)
Hi Harm_Veenstra there is a small oversight in your otherwise correct statement. 2012R2 to 2022 is not possible (or supported).

Ah, yes.. I see the upgrade table and you have to do 2019 in between!
