Kind regards,

LOL, this is a blast from the past... Think i need to start one for K2 Five LOL

Speaking of K2 Five, what is the official advice for this scenario.

Currently K2 V4.7 and OS Windows Server 2012 R2 and if i wanted to upgrade both K2 and Server OS, which is the recommended method out of the below?

A) Upgrade K2 v4.7 --> K2 Five, then upgrade to Windows Server 2016

B) Upgrade to Windows Server 2016, then upgrade from k2 v4.7 to K2 Five

Thoughts, comments?

In an in-place Server upgrade worth doing from Windows 2012 to 2016 or best to do side-by-side with a fresh install and migrate over the forms?

If doing a side-by-side, is there a proper migration tool for migrating over all the current server settings etc? For the forms i can you the import/export tool, but the settings take ages to setup.... trust me i've done this before (v4.6.11 to v4.7) and it was a major headache for months

Thoughts, suggestions please.

Hello,

Regarding on upgrade path from 4.7 to K2 Five, its whatever you feel most comfortable doing since both OS are supported http://help.k2.com/k2compatibilitysupportmatrix which you can check in the updated support matrix.

If you were to do a fresh install of K2 Five, you would not have access to the legacy tools and workflows.
