Since it's ridiculously easy to stand up a server I see no reason to do an
inplace upgrade ever[1].
Assuming your licensing is in shape, stand up a new VM, get it ready,
transition services, and then decommission the old VM.

I've always advised against in-place upgrades.
I've done more than a few, and the only ones that went really well long term
were the ones where I had built and maintained the original box myself, and

A clean upgrade, when you can plan for it, it always better, IMO, unless
Even licensing may not be a major issue if you can migrate from the old to
the new fast enough. Just don't activate the new until you've
decommissioned the old.

I haven't upgraded a Windows Server install for years now as typically

Assuming there is some need to move the VM to 2008 that is motivating this, I
would just stand up a new server. You would want to use 2008R2 and you can’t
do a 32bit – 64bit upgrade
