Thanks for making that available. I guess all of us have been waiting for it.

I downloaded and tried to upgrade a virtual machine that isrunning a Hyper-V 2019 1809. First I encountered an 0xC1900101 - 0x20017 but that disappeared after increasing memory allocation (install could check for that). After increasing memory, setup proceeded, but then stopped with 0x80070490 -0x2000e "The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during SET_PRODUCT_KEY operation).

Any idea what I can try?

I also want to upgrade a physical host - the VM was just to get experience first..

Thanks Joachim

    joachiml We had same exact issue doing an in place upgrade.  In place upgrades have always worked very well in previous versions of Hyper-V.  We never do it in production but always worked very well in testing.

    We have never supported in-place upgrade with the stand alone Hyper-V server.  Do you see any issues when performing a clean installation? joachiml

      Hi Ben,

      I do. Even running just virtual machines, the host needs configuration, ranging from bitlocker, domain join, backup, etc.. Some 3rd party software ties into the installation without import/export capabilities.

      I definitely appreciate upgrade support, in particular as frequency increases..

      Thanks, Joachim
