Upgrade Win 8.1 to Windows R2 (cont.)

In front of us, we said two places about the version, and today, another place to talk about.
Hit the position, see the contents of the document, its meaning is basically self-evident.
Location: C:\Windows\servicing\Editions

A total of four files.
1, Editionmatrix.xml: Describes the version of the transformation of the description.
On the server:

…<Edition ID="ServerStandard" name="Microsoft-Windows-ServerStandardEdition" …>    <Target ID="ServerDatacenter"/></Edition>…

Description can be converted from the standard version to the datacenter version
On the workstation:

...<Edition ID="Starter" name="Microsoft-windows-starteredition" ...>    <Target ID="Core"/>    <Target ID="Corearm"/>    <Target ID="coreconnected"/>    <Target ID="corecountryspecific"/>    <Target ID="Coresinglelanguage"/>    <Target ID="coreconnectedcountryspecific"/>    <Target ID="Coreconnectedsinglelanguage"/>    <Target ID="Embeddedindustry"/>    <Target ID="Embeddedindustrya"/>    <Target ID="Embeddedindustrye"/>    <Target ID="Embeddedindustryeeval"/>    <Target ID="Embeddedindustryeval"/>    <Target ID="Enterprise"/>    <Target ID="Enterpriseeval"/>    <Target ID="Professional"/>    <Target ID="professionalstudent"/>    <Target ID="PROFESSIONALWMC"/></Edition>...

Represents the primary version and can be upgraded to various other versions.

2. The file name is different depending on the actual installation.
For example: Data center: Serverdatacenteredition.xml
Professional Edition: Professionaledition.xml
Describes some of the offline packages, which may be the basic packages of the system.

3, Upgradematrix.xml
Describes the upgrade between different versions.
Some names are defined first, so that they are easy to use later.

4, Wimbootconfig.ini
This feature has never been used, so it's not clear that it seems to be a configuration that starts directly with a WIM. The advantage of starting with Wim is of course that you can conserve disk space.
The file contents of the server and workstation appear the same.
Here is a description of the wimboot on the Internet:
Wimboot with one partition only, booted from a Win 8.1 UP1 DVD.

Whether the first and third files can be merged, and changed, you can not upgrade the original, or can upgrade and must be completely new installation, to upgrade the installation, then boundless beneficence.

Now, for the sake of simplicity, back up this directory on the workstation, that is, change the name, then copy the directory on the server and reboot to see if it is normal.

Reboot.
An error occurred in the CBS.log, saying that no files were found:
Failed to parse Package manifest:
\?\c:\windows\servicing\packages\microsoft-windows-serverdatacenteredition
Prove that this modification is correct, so to copy this file into the system package, that is, C:\Windows\Servicing\Packages, and then restart.
Also have a bag, also want to copy into Ah, restart again, at that time also looked at half a day, just know two files is not one thing. The name is too long to harm.
microsoft-windows-servercore-package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.3.9600.16384.*

The Install.wim file on the CD can be extracted by 7-zip and placed on the hard disk for backup. The file that is released with the Mount method is set with permission and is not easy to operate.

Last time, how to determine what version of the system is launched, this should be the source.
