Can V16.5.1 dB be imported into a new instance to WUG 2018 on Win Server 2016
I have a new VM with Windows Server 2016. And I have an exiting VM on Windows Server 2008 R2 with WUG v16.5.1. Can I install a fresh install of WUG 2018 on the Windows 2016 Server and just import the WUG 16.5.1 database.bak file directly into WUG 2018? then of course request the activation license for the new install.
Haven't made a choice yet
@William White What did you decide to do here?

But coming from 16.5 I hear there are huge differences in version 16 to version 2017 onward.
Maybe upgrade to 2018 on the old bum before cutting over if there are DB structure changes.
I choose to clean install completely with a new remote sql DB during the upgrade to 2017.
