KepserverEX on Windows Server 2025

[YC_12883396]

Hello.

I am currently reviewing a new project.

I am considering whether to configure the new server with Windows Server 2022 or Windows Server 2025.

If KepserverEX works properly on Windows Server 2025, I would like to configure it with Windows Server 2025.

Could you let me know whether this product is compatible with Windows Server 2025?
