    Hi @Andrea Dillon

    Of course you can. You don't find nothing specific to datacenter r2 because both versions (standard and Datacenter) are eligible for in-place upgrade. I have alreday performed a upgrade in place without any issue in my test envirement for more information please read the following article:

    Overview of Windows Server upgrades

    For your information , microsoft recommend to avoid a upgrade in place and migrate the service to new server installed from scratch.

    Please don't forget to accept helpful answer and close this thread
