Guide: Transition from Windows Server 2019 Standard to Datacenter

Note: This method only allows the upgrade from Windows Server Standard to Windows Server Datacenter. Downgrading from Datacenter to Standard is not supported.
Note: Your documents, installed programs, and other files will remain intact during the upgrade. However, we recommend backing up your data in case of any unforeseen events like power outages.

Follow these instructions:

  1. In the taskbar's search field, type CMD. The Command Prompt will appear. Right-click it and choose Run as administrator.
  2. In the command prompt window, enter the following command: dism /online /set-edition:serverdatacenter /productkey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX /accepteula. Replace the Xs with your actual product key and press Enter.
  3. After the upgrade process finishes, restart your server. Your Windows Server 2019 Datacenter will be ready for use.
