Hi there, I was wondering if anyone is running Ignition 7.9 on Windows Server 2022? A client is looking to upgrade the OS on their VM and is trying to decide between 2019 and 2022. It should run but wanted to get confirmation from someone currently using that setup. Cheers ---

If you can install Java8 on that version of Windows, it will likely work. Why don't you try it and see? (Ignition's two-hour trial mode should be sufficient for this test.)
