SharePoint 2013 RTM Farm - cannot upgrade to Windows Server 2012 R2

After deploying and taking ownership of a copy of the SharePoint 2013 RTM 3-VM "farm", when I try to upgrade the AD VM from Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2012 R2 using my copy of the ISO plus my key, it complains about some drivers needing to be upgraded.

Since those drivers are supplied by CloudShare, could you investigate and tell me how to upgrade those drivers to suit the needs of a Windows Server 2012 R2 upgrade?

I don't have the error in front of me, but if you need more information, I can get it to you if you cannot reproduce it on your own.

  I cannot find either of the two new templates mentioned in the previous answer: "SharePoint 2013 Enterprise SP1 - Windows 2012 R2" or "SharePoint 2013 Farm - Windows 2012 R2" under the SharePoint section of Showcase. Where did you find those templates?

  Hey, delayed answer.....sorry for that (got into spam)
  The 2 templates i was talking about are machine templates (NOT showcases)
  BUT, there is a new Showcase named SharePoint 2013 Small Farm - Windows Server 2012 R2

  Too late.

  I've terminated my contract with CloudShare at the end of the current billing year because I became frustrated over the long delay in getting the template upgraded.
