is it possible to update from Windows 2008 r2 evaluation to Windows 2012 r2 evaluation? if so what steps do you need to take?

allow me to help you, my friend. Any computer can update it's operating system. The only thing you need to watch for is 2012's system requirements. If they meet up with your system, then you can upgrade. Now... the steps. I have no idea lol. But i hope i helped a little bit. From using my logic, i think you can use a CD with 2012 r2 evaluation and install it by booting up on bios and set the priority to the disk drive. Then install and i think that should work!

its inside a vm on a 2012 host with 3 2012s inside the vm with a 2008 im pretty sure it meets requirements

Just mount the iso inside the VM and it should autorun and (if its possible) give you the upgrade option.

I've never tried updating Server so I don't know if its possible.

Found out the teacher was messing with us, it is not possible for an I place upgrade to an evaluation addition of 2012
