So, I currently have an HP Media Smart Home Server. I'm wondering what the process is to upgrade it to WHS2011? It has no video out nor any optical dirve. I realize that with out Drive Extender I will need to backup my data and re-recover it to the new WHS build, but I'm struggling with how to even get the OS upgraded or re-installed to the new version.
perhaps not your first choice, but can you install a cheap video card and an optical drive? also, depending on the age of your Server you might need to first confirm that it meets the minimum requirements listed here
