We have been working hard improving the in-place upgrade experience in Windows Server 2019. Yes, you are able to do an in-place upgrade of either Windows 2012 R2 or 2016 to Windows Server 2019.

Thanks for your comment John. In some moments I will be upgrading my RDS 2016 template based on Windows Server 2016 to Windows Server 2019. I am looking for to have this smooth as my RDS template took me some time to be prepared.

As Windows Server 2016 doesn't support native OneDrive client I am really looking forward to have this working with 2019 version and utilizing the On-Demand feature. Current there is a logon script for OneDrive Mapper powershell that utilizes the WebDAV virtual mapping. I don't like this solution, it makes the redirected folders slow and prone for logon issues due to various scripts are needed.
