Upgrading Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 to 2016
Hello all, I have a couple of Hyper-V Server 2012R2 boxes (the free 'core' offering). Is anyone aware of procedures or documentation to perform an upgrade of these boxes to Hyper-V Server 2016??...

My preference is to do a clean install instead of an in place upgrade. You can migrate or export the VMs prior to the clean install.
No matter what method you use, don't forget to upgrade the VM integration tools when the host upgrade is complete.
