title: Doing an in-place OS update on an Azure VM
body: <p>I know in-place updates of Azure VM's are not supported by Azure based on <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/41924158/2713516">https://stackoverflow.com/a/41924158/2713516</a>, but I'm still wondering if I can run an in-place update myself by simply downloading the Windows Server 2016 installer and running it on my Azure Virtual Machine that currently runs Windows Server 2012 R2.</p>
  
  <p>Will this break any Azure mechanism's I'm not aware of?</p>
