You can upgrade instances of [!INCLUDEssSQL11], [!INCLUDEssSQL14], [!INCLUDEss2016], or [!INCLUDEsssql17] directly to [!INCLUDEsssql19]. For [!INCLUDEssKatmai], and [!INCLUDEssKilimanjaro], you'll either need to do a side-by-side upgrade, or a migration, to move to [!INCLUDE sssql19-md] as there's no common overlap between a supported mainstream operating system.
