Hi All,

I have a Windows Server 2019 VM in Azure with Azure AD Connect installed. Experts please guide me on how to upgrade the Azure AD Connect version? Additionally, the following components are also installed on the same VM, but I am unsure if Azure AD Connect is using SQL Express edition, as I have never upgraded or installed Azure AD Connect before:
