    Hello,

    I believe you're referring to Windows Server 2022. The answer is no, because Windows Server 2022 requires a Minimum Forest Functional Level (FFL) of Windows Server 2012. This necessitates migrating to a server that supports this FFL first. By using a hop, you can transition from Windows Server 2008 to Windows Server 2022. This involves migrating to Windows Server 2012 first, demoting the old Windows Server 2008, elevating the FFL and DFL to Windows Server 2012, and then proceeding to Windows Server 2022.

    Do you have Windows Server 2008 with or without R2?

    Kind regards
    Mariëtte

    By the way, there's no need to purchase Windows Server 2012 R2 for the setup because the trial version will suffice.
