Dave Patrick The link you submitted does not say how I will pass 2016. I downloaded the 2016 iso. I have a license, but I don't understand how to downgrade?
You'll need to clean install it. There's no method to downgrade (in-place) the operating system. The cleaner / simpler / much safer method is to clean install it, patch fully and migrate the roles or applications over to it.
You cannot downgrade directly. You have to a fresh install with the Server 2016 media.
You should be able to get a seperate 2016 product key from your volume license center. If you can't get a valid 2016 product key, you may not have bought your server license with downgrage rights. Consult your reseller regarding downgrade right. Either way, you have to start fresh, as there is no live-server-downgrade option.
