Data Gateway Update questions
get yourself a voodoo doll and start pricking it.
No Recovery Key = you need to start over completely. No way around it.
Hi mprabucki,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.
Upgrading your on-premises data gateway is essential for maintaining security and compatibility with Microsoft services. Running an unsupported gateway on Windows Server 2016 poses security risks and is not recommended. Additionally, since you're already experiencing warnings with Dataflows, future updates could render them entirely incompatible with your current gateway. While Microsoft's official documentation lists Windows Server 2019–2022 as supported, there is a possibility that Windows Server 2025 could be included in the future. However, before committing to an upgrade, it is advisable to test in a non-production environment to ensure a smooth transition.

Thank you! this is great. Yes this helps in thinking through this. Another post mentioned recovery keys.. my predecessors did not believe in helping future workers so nothing was documented or left for me. Any words of advice or suggestions are welcome.
