Wat-Dat-Are Windows Server?
I have a copy of Windows Server STD 2016 that I've never installed. I would like to keep up to date
The simplest method to keep it up to date is to turn on Automatic updates so windows will download and install the latest SSUs and cumulative updates.

Yes, I understand all that. The question always gets down to the $$$. At this point I'm a Home hacker. I will clean install either the 2016 or 2019 version. The question is, does MS have an Upgrade license fee that's less than a full version fee like with an OS, or are these a perversion license fee. I don't know how it works as far as the Server Systems go. My original plan was to clean install 2016 and then update it to 2019 assuming it worked the same way as an OS upgrade. If there is no difference then I was going to start at a clean install of 2019. in essence, I'm looking for the least expensive way to 2019 from an installed version of win 10 pro 64 with a copy of server 2016 on the desk ready to be installed.

Sorry, but there is no such option for windows server.

Thanks all, I'll get started. I'm reminded to "Mark if helpful" I don't see a way of doing that. How is that done?? Dave Patrick
