Hi,

 

I know this question was asked several times in different articles but I still I didn't get concrete answer.

 

1- Can we upgrade Windows 2008 R2 Certificate server to Windows 2019 Server (Separate VM) Directly (Not an in-place upgrade) or we have to first upgrade it to Windows 2012 R2 and then from there upgrade to Windows 2019 (Separate VM) ?
