Guest Microsoft Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 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. Oliver
Guest Gorka Miranda Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Re: Windows 2008 install 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.

Guest Microsoft Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Re: Windows 2008 install 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!
