Improvements
Main improvements
- Updated preconfigured Microsoft SQL Server from 2014 SP3 to 2022. SQL Server 2014 SP3 will no longer be supported by Microsoft after 09 July 2024, and is not officially supported on Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022. Updating SQL Server before this date is strongly recommended to avoid compatibility and security issues.
- Adjusted system requirements: Coffalyser.Net still supports 32-bit operating systems, but SQL Server 2022 does not. View all system requirements.

- Removed the ability to upgrade a preconfigured SQL Server from 2008 R2 to 2014 SP3 (SQL Server 2008 R2 has been out of support by Microsoft since 2019, and preconfigured servers were updated to 2014 SP3 starting with Coffalyser.Net v.210226.1433, released in 2021).
