Should I choose Upgrade or Custom install?
Choose Upgrade if you:
· Want to keep
Windows settings, some server roles, and local files in Windows Server 2012 R2.
Not all Windows settings and apps will be moved. If you’re upgrading to Windows
Server 2012 R2, no apps are kept.
Note: You can't use
this version of setup for upgrading to Windows 8.1. If you want to upgrade to
Windows 8.1, start setup.exe from the root of your installation media.
Choose Custom install if you:
· Want to delete
everything on your PC.
· Want to install Windows
8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2 on a separate drive to multiboot into other
operating systems.
· Don’t have an
operating system installed on your PC.
· Aren’t able to upgrade
from the version of Windows that’s already installed on your PC.
If you choose Upgrade,
make sure to do the following before you continue:
· Back up your
files to an external hard drive, DVD or CD, USB flash drive, or network folder.
· Find the
installation media and installers for the applications that will work and need
to be reinstalled in Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2.
· If you use a
fingerprint reader or another biometric device to sign in to your PC, make sure
you write down your password. You’ll have to type your user name and password
the first time you sign in to Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2.
Note: Your personal files will be
moved to the windows.old folder.
