SharePoint Upgrades are documented here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/upgrade-and-update/overview-of-the-upgrade-process-2019 To learn more about Windows Server in place upgrades and what is supported see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/upgrade-overview

Thank you. An additional question here, on this case, do we get a "Best efforts" support from the MS premier support team or No-support at all?

MS premier support will always try to help you 🙂 But if you venture outside of the tested / known / supported path, there is a limit in what they can do. Which will be 'best effort' focused around configuration type issues, with no escalation path for bugs fixes / product changes and such (meaning they can't call me! LoL). Thanks! Elden
