Hi @sivaprasadv3910 

This is the OS Upgrade and you will need to follow the steps mentioned in the below article by Microsoft to upgrade the OS from 2008 to 2019.

Make sure to shut down the AEM application running on Windows machine before starting the OS Upgrade.

This upgrade will not have any impact on the AEM Application. Just ensure to use the correct version of Java.

Thanks!
