Is it possible to get a full infrastructure version of CentOS 7 as I have the Minimal version installed?

From what I’ve found, you can install & upgrade packages within CentOS 7 using the yum groupinstall command. This allows you to install multiple packages with a single command.
To upgrade from Minimal installation to Basic:
yum groupinstall "Base"
To list all the installed & available groups
yum grouplist
While testing this, I found ‘Infrastructure Server’ under the Available Environment Groups after running yum grouplist and installed the Infrastructure Server with yum groupinstall "Infrastructure Server"
I will admit, I’m not an expert on this topic. If you need some additional information on this subject, please feel free to post your questions here or take a look at these resources:
