Is Server 2022 at 22H2 level available yet

Hi folks
I love fiddling around with Ms servers (180 day free trials) -- absolutely lightning fast even as a VM.

Here's one running as a Desktop -- makes a great OS !!!! - the only thing I can't run on it is Macrium (wants the server version) but I just save the VM so no big deal.

It's at 21H2 level which is why I'm curious if there's a 22H2 update to come.


Cheers

Jimbo,

As Windows Server is based on Windows 10 any 22H2 upgrade will presumably only become available after Windows 10 22H2 is officially released.

Thanks -- although there are some features from W11 in it too !

I really love the speed of these things -- obviously Ms doesn't want too many people to know that you CAN run these as a non bloated Windows desktop OS !! --takes a bit of work but easily done -- @Edwin -- surprised you haven't had a go at this type of thing too !!!!!
and get over 900 days via slmgr rearm !!!.

900 days is almost a "Geological age" in computer technology these days -- also BTW these things run fine on a VM with only 2GB RAM assigned too !!! although 4GB is better.

I'm not sure what's taken out of the server compared to std Windows builds but I can't even begin to compare performance with the server (as a Desktop !!) compared to some of the current consumer W11 builds.

Unlike previous trial versions Server 2022 is brilliant -- nothing fails to install or work on it -- altough as I said the odd program e.g Macrium might detect a Server OS and want the server (usually expensive) paid for versions of software.

If needed, this free alternative performs most of the backup/disk clone/migration basics and works on Windows server: Completely Free Windows Backup Software for Windows 11/10/8/7 - Hasleo Backup Suite Free

Most of my VMs only run a limited range of software, so with the rearm extension option for the Server Evaluation, rebuilding/switching a VM OS after 18 months to 2 years of free use doesn't seem much of a hardship for the opportunity to learn more about the workings of MS Server. Might give it a trial, if only to 'play around' with the setup of VM networks.
