00:00:00,740 --> 00:00:05,930
I'm in a Windows 2019 server that I'd like to upgrade to Windows Server 2022.

2
00:00:05,930 --> 00:00:12,230
I've already mounted my DVD, so I can go ahead and start the upgrade process.

3
00:00:12,230 --> 00:00:15,210
I'm going to click on this PC, double‑click on the D

4
00:00:15,210 --> 00:00:20,100
drive, which is my Windows 2022 DVD, and then it's going

5
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:22,240
to start the server installation.

6
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:24,790
Usually, there's a little bit of a delay after you click on

7
00:00:24,790 --> 00:00:28,570
the DVD before it gets started, and then we can go ahead and

8
00:00:28,570 --> 00:00:30,460
run it. Now after it gets started,

9
00:00:30,460 --> 00:00:34,070
you will see it reboot, and you will have some things that you need

10
00:00:34,070 --> 00:00:36,740
to answer too, so let's take a look at those.

11
00:00:36,740 --> 00:00:38,560
I'm going to uncheck this box,

12
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,380
click Next, and now it's going to be looking for updates.

13
00:00:42,380 --> 00:00:47,200
These updates are needed in order to do the 2022 upgrade. Next,

14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,570
if you haven't added in your product key,

15
00:00:49,570 --> 00:00:53,750
you can go ahead and do so now. And now I have the option

16
00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:57,020
for installing the standard version using the command

17
00:00:57,020 --> 00:01:00,590
prompt or the Desktop Experience, which you see here right now.

18
00:01:00,590 --> 00:01:04,240
I'd like to choose the Desktop Experience, and click Next.

19
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:09,210
And now I'm going to accept the license, and now it's asking me

20
00:01:09,210 --> 00:01:11,970
what I'd like to keep. If I have any applications,

21
00:01:11,970 --> 00:01:15,360
any files I'd like to save, then I want to keep those by

22
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,710
clicking the Keep files, settings, and apps.

23
00:01:17,710 --> 00:01:20,750
I'll go ahead and choose that because most upgrades are going to

24
00:01:20,750 --> 00:01:24,660
run that way. Now, it's making sure everything is all ready to

25
00:01:24,660 --> 00:01:27,280
go before the installation begins.

26
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,870
This type of upgrade will not erase the hard drive. It's

27
00:01:29,870 --> 00:01:33,340
going to keep existing files the way they are and just

28
00:01:33,340 --> 00:01:35,030
upgrade the operating system.

29
00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:38,120
Now I see a confirmation screen. Everything looks good,

30
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,280
I'll go ahead and click Install, and now we see the installation begin.

31
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,940
This looks a little bit different than a fresh installation of Windows,

32
00:01:44,940 --> 00:01:48,150
but it works pretty much the same way, and it takes about the same

33
00:01:48,150 --> 00:01:51,180
amount of time. The upgrade portion is done,

34
00:01:51,180 --> 00:01:53,610
but now it's working on Windows updates, and then it

35
00:01:53,610 --> 00:01:56,740
will complete by booting into Windows.

36
00:01:56,740 --> 00:01:58,380
After the update's completed,

37
00:01:58,380 --> 00:02:10,000
we're now launching and logging into Windows Server 2022 for the first time. And the upgrade to Windows Server 2022 is now complete.
