Upgrade Windows Server 2022 Evaluation to Full Edition - Fix: Product key you entered didn’t work!

Windows Server 2022 Evaluation edition cannot be upgraded from the Settings - System - About and entering a valid purchased key (Error: The product key you entered didn’t work, Check the product key and try again or enter a different one. 0x80070057). But you do not need to reinstall your server and all of its services and components. Instead, we can leverage the PowerShell comdlets to bypass this error.

Cmdlets used:
dism /online /get-currentedition and press ENTER
dism /online /get-targeteditions and press ENTER
dism /online /set-edition:serverstandard /productkey: KEY-KEY-KEY-KEY-KEY /accepteula and press ENTER

Please note, you must have a valid purchased Windows Server 2022 key for the edition in which you have an Evaluation copy installed.

Great video but I am getting an error on checking the "get-targetededition" Error: 87. Not certain if it will be able to the next check.
