17744 expiring soon- how to update or stall expiration?
Hey all I am writing a book on Server 2019, and I am currently on build 17744. The newer version available only has Server Core, and I need Server with GUI as well... How do I keep this from expiri...
Windows Server 2019 has now released to the general public - 17744 was the last preview that was released to the Insider program. We hope to have an Evaluation version released to the Eval Center in the upcoming weeks, but until then, the only preview that is available to Insiders is the vNext Semi-Annual Channel release which does not have the GUI. 17744 will not stop running after the certificate expires but it is not supported. Continue to use at your own risk.

As long as it won't stop running that is good. When the general release comes out, I will happily update to that but I was panicking a little when the message came up and I wasn't finding an LTSC release or the GA release.
