Hello,
I am thinking about to retiring my old WHSv1 PC and buying from Amazon.de an OEM disk and using a soon to be defunct XP machine (with a new motherboard, SSD, HDDs, but existing box, power supply, DVD, + some DDR3 memory I have) to be my WHS2011
machine.
However, if I buy a WHS 2011 disc can I still install this and get appropriate updates etc. for WHS from Microsoft - all pointers now lead to small business server? (I am sure there were security / connector updates etc.)? I don't want to
buy it and find it is unsupported.
I know that I cannot reinstall my WHSv1 as there are no updates available via Microsoft.
Can anybody please advise the cut-off date for M/S support for WHS 2011?
Thanks, Mel
PS - spent 2 hours reading this forum - do I really want to go down the WHS 2011 route?
Secondary Question - can I back up my WHS v1 installation with something like Acronis (as an example only) please in case it fails?
