Update from 17733 to newest?

I had assumed I would be able to update to the new build released a day or so ago, but it is not ever being shown in the 2 2019 Datacenter servers that I installed last week for testing. 

 

Any hints?

  • For updating between builds, I believe you need to grab the ISO and then you can do an in-place upgrade. That's how I've been doing them.

  • David Bird is correct, the newer builds are not delivered to your device, you have to download the ISO and then perform the upgrade.

      I have tried to update/upgrade to the latest build, however, when hitting "Upgrade" it fails, and even if I boot into the ISO which I burned, I get errors about "Terms and Conditions" file is missing.

    Just burn, pop it in, and upgrade? I'm a long-long time Linux sysop, and last week I decided to burn some of our Bizspark keys and see what you guys have been up to in the last decade or so. Must say, 2016/2019 is great stuff, I managed to get a dual-site, dual-controller network up and running with a couple exchange servers and a few other various bits. Fun ride...

      I am happy to report the process was exactly that, download, burn, run setup.exe, go outside and vape a bit, come back an log into the new build. Smooth as butter.

      Glad I took the plunge with this stuff, pretty fun replicating the Linux network with Windows hahaha.

    I see that the ability to update between builds was added in 17733, so is this a bug in that, or something else?
