What's New
Hybrid Cloud and Security
- – Microsoft Windows Server 2022 features the Secured-core OS option, which uses Trusted Platform Module 2.0 and System Guard secure boot option to reduce risk from firmware vulnerabilities and to help provide multilayer security across hardware, firmware, and the operating system.
- – Microsoft Windows Server 2022 supports AES-256-GCM and AES-256-CCM cryptographic suites for SMB encryption as well as TLS 1.3 to help provide a communication channel between two endpoints with increased security features.
- – To provide east-west storage encryption, Microsoft Windows Server 2022 failover clusters support granular control of encrypting and signing intranode storage communications for cluster shared volumes (CSV) and the storage bus layer (SBL).
- – Improved Discrete Device Assignment (DDA) brings better security, virtual machine isolation, and performance for graphics-intensive workloads.
Modernized Server Infrastructure
- – Microsoft Windows Server 2022 features containers that allow for packaging apps with their dependencies and using operating system-level virtualization to provide fast, fully isolated environments on a single system.
- – The Containers extension in Windows Admin Center enables the containerization of apps, as well as troubleshooting for containers running on a host, such as opening a console connection to a container, checking logs, or monitoring resource consumption.
- – Microsoft drastically decreased the size of the Microsoft Windows Server core container base image by reducing duplicate payloads and removing unused optional components.
- – Performance and scalability increased with support for up to 48TB memory and 2048 logical processors
Storage Migration
- – Microsoft Windows Server 2022 offers the Storage Migration Service, which provides a graphical tool that inventories data on Windows, Linux®, and NetApp CIFS servers and then transfers the data to newer servers or to Azure virtual machines, without reconfiguring applications or users.
- – Capture and migrate legacy access permission settings along with the data for continued seamless functionality of your key business applications. As an option, transfer the identity of the legacy server to the destination server so apps and users can access the data without changing links or paths.

Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Downgrade options
Important Message:
Microsoft has announced new policies regarding Silicon support for Microsoft Windows Server operating system products, including those that are offered through ‘downgrade’ rights.

Please note, for the deployed OS to be supported by Microsoft, your HPE Server must meet all processor requirements that are specified and listed for both the licensed product and the downgrade/down-edition (DG/DE) software. For clarity, if you purchased a Microsoft Windows Server 2022 and intend to downgrade to Microsoft Windows Server 2019, your server must meet both the processor requirements for Microsoft Windows Server 2022 and 2019.
This requirement applies both to customers who have purchased the Microsoft Windows Server OEM license directly from HPE or from an HPE Reseller or Partner. The Microsoft processor requirements are in addition to other hardware requirements for the Microsoft Windows Server operating system products that are specified in the document located at
Microsoft may update the processor requirements and the minimum hardware requirements for Microsoft Windows Server operating system products as requirements change.
Microsoft Hardware Specifications for Standard and Datacenter Editions
Unless otherwise specified, these minimum system requirements apply to both Standard and Datacenter editions.
