Is there any way to patch Hyper-V Server 2012 to Hyper-V Server 2012 R2? Or I need to download & install new version instead with manual VM migration?

I tried to google it, but found answers only about Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V component.

Thanx.

Hyper-V Server 2012 and Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 are two distinctly different products. You cannot update from one to the other. You can upgrade from one to the other.

  • And what about upgrading process? Do I need to stop VMs and then just start them? Do I need to change something in VMs to migrate them correctly, or R2 will work with them _by default_. – lopar Jan 29 '16 at 12:38
