Server 2012 MCSE to Server 2016 MCSE Upgrade Path?

Question
-
I have been scouring the internet, and I cannot find any information on an upgrade path for 2012 to 2016 MCSE. I have seen several discussions for 2012 to 2016 MCSA, but not MCSE. Does anybody have any information regarding this certification upgrade? Do I just have to upgrade the MCSA with exam 743 and that will make me 2016 MCSE? Or do I need to take 743 then also take whatever the new versions of 413 and 414 are (I can't seem to find the new exam numbers for 2016 MCSE)?
I would appreciate any information anybody could provide, as my current 2012 MCSE expires in March.
Thank you!

Through a link in an email from "myacclaim.com" regarding badges, I finally found the information I was looking for.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/learning/mcse-cloud-platform-infrastructure.aspx
From the looks of this, since I already have my MCSE (and hence MSCA) Windows Server 2012, only one elective exam is required? Step 1 is to have one of the listed MCSA certs, then step 2 is an elective exam. The only new one listed seems to be the "Securing Windows Server 2016 - 70-744" exam, so I have registered for that one. Hopefully that will do it!

This is the official source for MS certifications and any upgrade paths. If you can't find it here, it's not available yet:
