Hi @flokaiser 

I’ve checked the FAQ for Content Index and Search Engine, but not really found anything concrete for in place OS upgrades.

There is a process to move the search engine, index and web server roles to other servers if this is more of a hardware refresh task, which would avoid the need to create new and re run content indexing.

Search Engine Hardware Refresh

Web Server Hardware Refresh

Thanks,

Stuart

Is it possible to virtualize the hardware as well?

@flokaiser , I’m not seeing anything that says you can’t go virtual, just be sure to check out the hardware requirements as they can be demanding, depending on your usage:
