Convert Windows Evaluation Version To Standard or Full Version

Sometimes we activated trial versions or evaluation copy of windows in order to test the windows or its functionality. But when we get into production, we cant really use the evaluation copy. In order to save our time and resource we can convert the evaluation copy to full version of windows without formatting the windows in below 2 steps.




Step -1.

Type Below command to get the details to which you can upgrade


DISM /online /Get-TargetEditions

here you will get Edition that can be upgraded to

Step -2. 

Type another command to change the edition from evalution to full

DISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /ProductKey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX­X /AcceptEula
Where (xxxx) will be your product key of the full version. This will restart the server.





And when the server is restarted you will get the full version of windows.
