Hello everyone,

One of my customers have been using Azure and decided to landfall their VM’s so when they have pulled the VHD files to their local private cloud, they realized the Windows server 2016 was Datacenter edition, they don’t wanted to lost their information and applications installed there, so they searched and found this article where explains how to switch the windows edition https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/upgrade-conversion-options so they have switched the Windwos server 2016 to standard edition and then moved to Windows 2019 standard edition using a in-place upgrade. After all this context, the question here is, if they are incurring in a supported process or not. I’ve been seeking the document and don’t catch error on this logic, they are upgrading a standard to standard edition. Can anyone bring me a ligth on this?
