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.
