Hello PetrHanz,
Although upgrading the OS is possible, I don't recommend it. I understand from your description that moving to a new fresh installed server is going to be 'difficult but not impossible'. From experience, upgrading the OS gives some strange issues in the future. A fresh install, configuring according to your specs, and then moving EV will save a lot of troubles later down the line.
good luck..

^^I agree with Gertjan,
I did an Inplace upgrade only one time, because the customer wanted it.
I have not done it again after this time.
quality > convenience
it saves a a lot of nerves.

Well there is a requirements guide that descirbes requirements for the solution and an upgrade guide that discusses supported processes for upgrades. Is that what you are seeking?

Hi guys,
many thanks - I know these documents. I did some upgrades of EV 11,12,14 but I didn't upgrade OS of Windows. So, some information about preparation of OS ( compatibility, framework version, saving certificates, IIS setting, MSMQ ) I have. But example - some troubles with permissions in DCOM during update or need to edit LOCAL Security policy..... I had in history and therefore I am lookup for details .....

I normally set Windows Server XXXX up on a new system and then move to this one. Its easier to rollback, especially with DNS Alias.
If you have no other way, then probably you will have to:
- stop services/schedules/backup mode
- backup the server
- uninstall EV on the Server
- OS inplace upgrade
- reinstall EV, it should see it was installed there before.
- test
- disable backup mode
- test
but I would recommend the first.
