Windows Server 2016 Datacenter Inplace Upgrade to 2022 not working with Evaluation Medias

Hi Guys,

 

ich have a problem. I must Inlace Upgrade a view Server (Reinstall is not an Option). I have no Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Media, only my Licence-Keys and a downloaded Evaluation Iso.

 

If i try to Upgrade the Server with the Evaluation ISO, the Setup Part for "Keep my Data" is grey out.

 

Have anybody a Idea, how i can get a valid Datacenter Installation ISO? Or can maybe be Evaluation ISO be changed to a Datacenter Install Media?

 

Thank in advice

  • That's correct, it isn't possible to do an in-place upgrade using evaluation media. You'll need to use licensed media for that operation.

      Thanks for the Confirmation. Do you have any idea where to get a valid ISO?
