Upgrade "windows server insider preview" to final release

Hi,

 

With Windows Server 2019,

will I be able to upgrade windows server insider preview to final release ?

Because it seems to me that was not possible with Windows server 2016.

 

I've a project of complete overhaul of an infrastructure.

to start the work on a preview release and finish it on a final release will bring me a significant time saving !

  • Yes, it is supported to do an In-place Upgrade of the OS from Windows Server 2016 to Windows Server 2019.  This is available in the Windows Server Insider preview builds today, I recommend going and trying it out and giving feedback.

    Thanks!

  • TBH I'd be very surprised if this was supported.

    It's not unusual for there to be large breaking changes or even feature removals between the first previews and the final release product (based on previous testing experience with MS product groups)

      Hello,

       

      I suppose they use under the hood the same "engine" of Windows 10, so I think they now can do this.
