Hi,

I have a licensed media, and I can in-place upgrade from Windows Server 2019 Data Center [Desktop Experience] to Windows Server 2022 Data Center [Desktop Experience].

But When I want to in-place upgrade from Windows Server 2019 Data Center Core to Windows Server 2022 Data Center Core, Keep files, settings, and apps option is disable. How to resolve this issue?

I create question in microsoft https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1123512/in-place-upgrade-disable-in-windows-server-core-20 but I cannot find my solution yet.

Thanks

ServerDatacenterACor may be the semi-annual channel. I don't believe that will work here. Also the semi annual channel is now gone for Windows Server 2022. It would help to have the output of `wmic qfe get hotfixid,installedon` to know more. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/servicing-channels-comparison

As I suspected, this was the semi-annual channel, so it looks like there isn't an upgrade path. Also this release of Windows Server (20H2) was end of life four months ago. These short-lived releases were not intended for roles such as a domain controller. Probably a good idea to stay with mainstream Windows. Promote another domain controller and throw this one away.

Chose the Windows Upgrade version that you want with (Desktop Experience) selected as opposed to just Windows 20222 Standard. That fixed this issue for me.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
