To whom it may concern,
I currently have a Windows Server 2012 R2. I would like to upgrade it to a newer server version. Here are it's specs:
Processor: Intel Celeron(R) CPUG530 @ 2.40GHz
Installed Memory (RAM): 8.00 GB
System Type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
Hard Drive: 278 GB
What's the latest version that it can handle?
James

Hi James R Claxton,
This server meets the minimum system requirements for the latest Windows Server 2025, however, performance might be limited due to the old Intel processor and relatively low RAM. You might experience low performance, especially under heavy workloads.

Thank you Ian.
Would it be better to go with Windows Server 2022?
