Windows Server In-Place Upgrades

Does Microsoft advocate in-place upgrades when upgrading Windows Server? Are there any reasons not to do it?

    Kurt Mackie Hi Kurt,

     

    Yes, in Windows Server 2019 we did extensive work and testing of In-place Upgrades (more than ever before).  We can confidently stand behind doing In-place Upgrades from WS2016 --> WS2019.  So go for it!

     

    Thanks!
