In-place dist-upgrade Windows Servers
It would be nice if Plesk support such functionality. That help to avoid migrations to new server with higher version of OS. This request created to not mix up with certain (and outdated suggestion from here: https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/15631494-in-place-dist-upgrade-windows-server-2008-r2-to)

This would be great. I work for a pretty small company. Instead of several small servers, we opted to hire a few larger ones, so we host about 600 clients in our two Windows servers. So, when we want to move to a new version of Windows, we have about 300 websites to migrate, which even at datacenter speeds still takes several days (during which the server performance is degraded by the migration process). Then there's the expense of paying for both the old and the new server for a month in order to do the migration, and duplicating the settings to try to ease the transition for the clients.
Yes, the migration tool helps a lot… But being able to do an in-place upgrade would be a game-changer.

This would be a great feature to have. Using the Plesk migration tool is painfully too slow especially when you have more than 400 subscriptions per server.
