SCCM 2012 R2 supported OS

Question

Morning all!

I need to know the viability of my upgrade. I have clients with SCCM 2012 R2 in Windows Server 2012 R2.

As all we know Windows Server 2012 R2 is deprecated and we should upgrade the infrastructure.

My question is.. How can upgrade it? Can i run SCCM 2012 R2 in Windows Server 2019?

If i can't do it, how can i manage this Windows 7 device's ?

Have some version of SCCM this support?

TIA
