Accepted Answer

Yes. You will have to create a new image builder and install your applications on the new OS.

We also introduced [Elastic fleets](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2021/11/amazon-appstream-2-0-launches-elastic-fleets-serverless-fleet-type/). Elastic fleets lets you stream applications to your end users without managing images or configuring scaling. If your applications are portable, this could be a good fit.

Answer

Yes, given that Server 2012 R2 is going on ten years old. Is there a reason you've remained on 2012 R2?
