Hi Guys,
Sorry if this has already been asked but I did search an could not find a answer.
I need to upgrade our 2008 SQL servers and thought it was an opportunity to upgrade the OS as well.
I have 3 sites all running 2008R2 OS and 2008 SQL specifically 10.0.5538.
I have licensing so I thought 2012R2 OS and 2016 standard SQL per core.
The question is, is it safe to do an in place OS upgrade? It worked fine for all other servers.
Then the question is is it just an in place upgrade of SQL.
I have to do this before September so I cannot wait for 2016 OS which is a shame.
Thank you for your time.
Forgot to mention the workload on this is minimal, I mean really minimal, and downtime is not an issue.
