Migrating AD info from 2008 R2 to 2019 - is the process different for VMs?
I was looking for information on how to migrate domain info from a Windows 2008 R2 server VM to a new 2019 server VM. I found info that essentially says to install a new 2019 server on the domain, promote it to domain controller, transfer all AD roles, then un-promote and decommission the old server (nothing specifically about VMs). This may be a dumb question but I'm learning - is there any way this process would be different on a VM? I believe it is hyper v. Or does the same thing apply? My assumption is it works the same way but in case I'm missing something I appreciate if anyone can shed some light on that.
Thank you,

Your assumption is correct, there is no difference at all in the process if the involved server are physical or virtual.
