Yesterday in "Update" (Sever 2022) I had a notice to upgrade to version 2025. I have purchased a license and today when I go to "Update" I don't have the notice to upgrade. How can I upgrade my 2022 server to version 2025?

    I just checked another WS2022 server in my lab and I also do NOT see that link. I'm speculating that Microsoft made a mistake and unintentionally sent that notice to upgrade to Windows Server 2025 in Windows Update. I guess they jumped the gun...

      Is there any way to upgrade from 2022 to 2025? The ISO I have is for new installation only. When running the installation I can't select "Keep Files...", this section is disabled. Is there an ISO to upgrade to that will preserve settings and files?

        Where did you get the ISO? Assuming it's from a legitimate source, :), you should see the upgrade option if you run setup.exe from the mounted ISO in Windows.

        If you boot your server from the ISO, you canNOT perform an in-place upgrade.
