      1. Now we are using Windows Server 2012 R2, but 2016 is already in market, so may be better to start learning 2016 to be advanced and Certify in latest one ?

      But there are no educational materials for 2016 R2 yet, so you are stuck with 2016 as the latest thing that you can study in any way. It's already more mature than you actually would want to focus on, but it is what it is.

      One another concern is, I will be having holidays from tomorrow for some reason, so I am thinking to buy (if require) PDF material on MCSA 2016 to starting studying immediately, as book delivery may take long for Middle East region.

      Thanks !

        Also, should go without saying... build a huge home lab and test EVERYTHING hands on while doing it.

        Noted and sure I will do the same.

          Definitely 2016. No reason to do 2012 when everything is covered in 2016, plus new features and such that isn't in 2012.

                  Make sure you use TechNet Virtual Labs. They are seriously excellent.

                    Nope, I was not aware. Also there is no 70-740 in your listed offered books.
                    Anyhow, still I am seeing 35% discount if I wish to buy immediately.

                        Sales are often just one day.
