What "modern software support" do I lack here?
- Gud 9mo agoSoftware updates?
- genewitch 9mo agosoftware only ever gets better
- KellyCriterion 9mo agoThe system runs only one app and does not serve public internet content - it does not get any updates at all, only this one app is updated every few month. We do not need updates here?
- ch_123 9mo ago> What "modern software support" do I lack here? There is a growing list of software that which has discontinued support for Windows 10 on the latest versions (or the Server versions thereof). I'm not sure if your example of running a ~16 year old version of SQL Server on Server 2016 demonstrates. To my original post - if you only need to run an old version of a software package, then an old version of Windows is fine. Just because something is old, it doesn't mean that it is not useful.
