We explored how to migrate those roles and features from a Windows Server 2008, 2008 R2, 2012, 2012 R2, 2016, and Windows Server 2019 machine to a Windows Server 2022 machine.
I discussed the different upgrade paths that are available and which upgrades are best for your current network setup. You learned that another important issue to decide when installing Windows Server 2022 is whether to use Server Core, Nano, or the GUI installation.
I discussed a feature called Features on Demand, which allows you to remove roles and features from the operating system and remove the associated files completely from the hard drive, thus saving disk space.
