Windows 2008 install

[Guest Microsoft]

Hi

 

I have win2000 advanced server and would like to know how to get windows

2008 running on the same server. Do I upgrade or simply install and

overwrite existing operating system? The server itself has no data so it

can be overwritten.

Hi

 

You have two options to do what you want. You can upgrade the server from

windows 2000 or perform a clean installation. The options you choose is up

to you, depends of what you want to do. If you are going to use this server

with more servers that are not running w2k8, i would choose the update

option. If you want just to test the system, i would choose a clean

installation.

Hi Gorka

 

Thanks, it sounds like an upgrade will be better, I am going to download

this software as a Technet subscriber and see if this upgrade option is

available!
