Renaming a Windows Server 2016 Essentials to keep the same host as the original SBS server after replacement

Hi, this question is linked to the tutorial I've linked below but what I would like to know is how I can perform the host rename after I've retired the old SBS server?

This will be a fresh setup not a migrate, there aren't many users and I'd like to start a fresh but I need to have both servers running at the same time in a transition process.

I know that the Essentials Role has to be removed first, do you have a tutorial for the process? Does removing the Essentials role and then reinstalling it not really work?

I am still looking for some guidance on this if at all possible.
