As a Dell Reseller..... if you bought a Microsoft OEM you are only entitlement for this version you bought. There is no upgrade rights included. Same is true for the ROK version.
Within the first 90 days you can buy additional the SA for that given OEM.
Windows Server 2025 is available since 2 month now within Dell OSC, PremierPage.

Once again, Origin3k is correct.no upgrade rights with OEM, just downgrade (please refer to this https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000175471/windows-server-dell-oem-license?msockid=1a5e8444c37364fc023690acc29e65bd
)
now if you want to upgrade you are required to buy retail or volume license.

You should ask at microsoft.com rather than dell.com. If you have Software Assuarance you are allowed to upgrade for free, otherwise you just need to buy a new license.
If your question was if Server 2022 is supportet on your given PowerEdge server you should tell us which model you have.
