Power BI Report Server upgrade version and OS
Currently running Power Bi Report Server version Janary 2023 on OS Windows Server 2012 R2 Need to upgrade to the latest version of Power BI Report Server January 2025 but seeing this will only run on OS Windows Server 2019 or 2022. Trying to find out steps to upgrade to the latest version on a newer OS. Unable to find any documentation on recommendations. Thanks!

I am on the mist of upgrading the OS where PBRS is installed from 2019 to 2025. Is Power BI Reporting Server complatible with Windwos Server 2025? The documentation that I have found so far states that the latest compatible version is Windows Server 2022
Upgrading to latest release - missing Upgrade option
Hi, I'm currently trying to upgrade a PBI Report Server (15.0.1108.297, MAY 2022, Enterprise) to the latest release - January 2023 (also tried Sept 2022, however same error as below). When running the installer, i'm welcomed by the expected Microsoft Power BI Report Server (January 2023) version header, however the dialog is only offering Install Power BI Report Server and not the Upgrade Power BI Report Server option as described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/upgrade . This is not expected right with an existing installation? Seems like it has an issue detecting the current installation, nothing i can remeber from a previous upgrade that i did to May 2022 as far as i remember. My PBI reportserver installation directory is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Report Server with following folder PBIRS, PBIRS.OLD, Shared Tools. How can i upgrade my version? Thanks!
