Question Windows OS in-place upgrade❓

[Darko Bazulj]

OS : windows 2012
plesk : onyx 17.8.11

I would like to do in-place update of windows 2012 to windows 2019.

Or it is better to upgrade plesk 17 to 18 and then do upgrade of windows OS?

I have read this KB Is it possible to upgrade OS on the Plesk server?

But I'm not sure if I can upgrade windows OS.

Hi Darko, I would recommend installing a new server with Windows 2019.

Then lower the TTL on all your domains: How to change TTL value for SOA records on all domains on Plesk server?

And then use Plesk migration tool to move all your domains to the new server.

Greetings Paul

We do not support Windows dist-upgrade. It was not tested at least. You can try it only on your own risk.

Did you ever try an in-place upgrade of Windows Server? As I was thinking about doing it as well.

no I haven't tried because it is unsupported and I didn't want spend time to investigate and who knows what problems can arise in future.

I would never suggest an in-place upgrade on any server and always install a new server and migrate. (of course unless impossible and the only way etc)

edit: sorry old topic.

I did many windows in-place upgrades and never had any problems but only if I use only windows services.
Plesk is connected with many things and it is possible that problem would arise if you do upgrade.
