How to upgrade from Evalutaion copy of WHS to Full Version RRS feed

  • Question

  • I installed the Evaluation version of WHS and now want to continue to use my Home Server. I bought a licensed OEM package from newegg.com and am now trying to figure out what to do. If I do a clean install I will lose all my backups and configuration changes.

    Are there any instructions on how best to do this upgrade? I have Binged and Googled for a long time without success.

    Thanks.

  • Thanks so much for the super-fast response.  That's exactly what I was looking for.

    I'm just wondering why my Bing and Google searches didn't find that FAQ post?
