This works also with Windows 10 Clients. After installing Windows 10 I lost the backup configurations of the Windows 10 Clients. I think the reason is the assignment of a new SID during upgrade.
Therefore no data on the WHS is assigned to the Windows 10 machine. Then make a new configuration for the Windows 10 machine on WHS Now everything works great again.

Tried with 2 Alienware R5 Computers very hard. With Win 8. My experience is different. I upgraded Win 7 Pro and Win 8. The Win 7 desktop works fine.
It has completed several daily backups. The only thing that remains is that when I get a Launchpad alert telling me that a Windows has an update, the link doesn't work to open Windows Update. The message is something to the effect that the troubleshooter doesn't work. I did have problems getting Launchpad to start automatically on my former 8. Well I have no problems doing backups on 3 computers that upgraded to windows 10, but I cannot open any backups.

It should also be mentioned, that even though WSE forces you to set up a domain, you don't actually have to use it.
Not sure what you mean by you do not have to use it? WSE12 does allow you to connect win7 home versions, but requires the boxes to have a passworsd and you cannot use autologin without a reg hack. Yes it is a great replacement for WHS,does all the neat stuff then some.
But bucks for 25 pc's is steep for the home. When I restart the box I am dropped at desktop without password input, but the Launchpad asks me for a password. The main reason for me visiting this thread though was to ask if it was possible to perform similar upgrade WHSv1 to WHS ? I certainly second this, assuming the system can work as per WHS without clients being domain joined. Even if this is some form of special offer "upgrade" for existing WHS users, who have been so vocal in supporting Microsoft in this endeavour and who have put up with a fair few disappointments over the years.
What would be awesome would be a bit more flexibility - allowing workgroup mode for the server as well as domain mode, and allowing an upgrade install from WHS for this scenario that is using workgroup mode - it may well be harder offering "upgrade" from workgroup to domain mode.
On the "upgrade" front, at least allowing the existing backups to be carried across from WHS, as I assume the basic format of these is the same. Yes, no in-place upgrade. However, one could theorise about some form of 'migration' being possible, where the list of users, the content of your shares, the current backups, would be 'moved' from old box to new. I was in fact pretty sure no such process existed. Wouldn't it be neat though? From this perspective putting the new box onto the network is similar to replacing WHSv1 with WHS11, in that nothing is carried over.
No gain, but no lesser. Working on currently available information. It is only PC's that do not have 'domain join' capability that are left in workgroup mode. There is no migration path supported directly through setup, however, we are investigating on a helping document to guide user on migrating resources from WHS to Essential Server Feel free to post your suggestions here. This post is "AS IS" and confers no rights.
If a document is being worked on to help guide a user migrating resources from WHS to Essential Server , couldn't this guide be somehow automated? I guess what I'm asking is, wouldn't it be awesome if WHS users could have a carryover of already done backups instead of starting over and Essential Server recognizing those backups that is done through a wizard. I think that would ease the pain of some of us who will probably bite the bullet and move to the new version.
I would also like to think that during the set up a third option could be added to the two existing options. Is a domain really needed for a home user? Something that can help people trying to make a decision about moving. What is the same, what is different, and of course, what you will not longer be able to do.
Also, I have read that Essential Server only supports Windows 7 and 8 clients. Why will these not work? Ning, the main suggestion, in my mind, is to rethink the pricing. We might almost think that, at this price, Microsoft want to deliberately kill off this route. While Microsoft might think that the Cloud is a viable alternative to a home server, for many of us, that is certainly not true.
I fully appreciate your concerns about not being able to control the Windows 10 updates from Microsoft, and the inability to remote access into this box :. My WHS installation is on my "C:" drive. How would I get Windows 10 installed here? Separate thought I may also want to open up remote access to my Media Center solution for family and some friends. Sign in.
