Microsoft Windows Server 2022 vs 2019

Organizations are digitally transforming their operations and running business-critical workloads that span across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. As a result, the need to secure workloads and data has never been greater.

Windows Server 2022 enables you to run business-critical workloads using remote desktop services (RDS) to access apps from anywhere—in your data center, in the cloud, and at the edge—while staying ahead of emerging security threats, even on mobile devices or laptops. This release builds on the advancements made in Windows Server 2019, which is the fastest-adopted Windows Server ever.
