SX, unfortunately
Is this possible? I can't find anything concrete either way. Server running hyper-v server 2012 R2 that has 2 VMs running Server 2012 R2.

Seems I can't install the drivers for my video card to run Remote FX on a core installation so I need to change to a normal 2012 R2 install on the host. Can I upgrade in place without the hassle of taking the VMs off?

I don't mean I have a core install of Server 2012 R2 - I know I can upgrade to the GUI version, it's the Hyper-V server that is installed.
 
Fantastic thanks - I'd found that 2nd link but that is referring to Hyper -v 2012 to Hyper-v 2012 R2. But that first link looks the business.

I do have the VMs replicated just in case but I don't have sufficient licences to ACTUALLY fail over (this is my home setup). The whole box is bare metalled to an RDX cart so if I do bugger it up I should be ok.

I do this at home to learn more without knackering the critical stuff at work, but boy do I dig myself some holes :p
 
Nuts :(
