    Hi ​@ErsKar ,

    Note: Do not directly jump from 6.5.0 to 6.524. Kindly plan the upgrade having upgrading intermediate service packs and testing it throughly.

    Hi ​@ErsKar ,

     

    AEM 6.5 is documented as working on Windows Server 2022 with Restricted Support; this is within Adobe’s official matrix.
    Reference: Technical Requirements

    However, Staying on AEM 6.5.0 on a brand‑new OS is not advisable from a security and support perspective.

    It is better to upgrade AEM to a current 6.5 SP or 6.5 LTS and ensure Java is supported.
