We update our Server from Windows Server 2008 to Windows Server 2016. And we use SQL Server 2008 R2 on the old server. I read from the website said that SQL Server 2008 is compatible with Windows 7, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, and Windows XP.

Can I install SQL Server 2008 R2 on Windows Server 2016? or a good way to this problem?

Thank You

  • I know SQL Server 2008 is EOL. but this project has been running since 2010. will the SQL 2008 upgrade change the query or data processing in it?

I am not sure if SQL Server 2008 can be run on Windows Server 2016.

I think a better solution will be upgrading to a supported version of SQL Server as 2008 is EOL since september 2019. You can set the database compability level to behave as SQL 2008.
