How to upgrade from Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2012 R2 (Standard Edition)?
I've been trying to understand how to upgrade from from Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2012 R2 (Standard Edition) and I can't find the installer/upgrade to download anywhere.
Does someone know where to get the upgrade?
Thanks!
