Server 2016 and apps vs windows 10 PC and apps

[djchico]

Hello all, new to this but loving it!
I've been reading a lot and now confused about which direction I should move towards.

Currently, my 3cx is on server 2012 (works great)! but the OS is no longer supported for the 3cx iPhone apps and the only problem.
I want to use a 'server', not a PC for various reasons and stick with windows but I need the 3cx apps working with a supported OS.

3cx says it supports 2016 standard but I saw this other post by a 3cx tech and basically says the Apps still not supported?
See below:

"Under the hood, the real difference between the two is simply that Windows 10 provides Universal Windows Platform (UWP) or “Windows Store” applications, whereas Server 2016 – so far – does not"

Is this incorrect or can I use server 2016 and getting my 3cx apps working again OR any suggestions if 2016 doesn't support the 3cx apps?
please advise
thank you all.

Here is the list of supported os https://www.3cx.com/docs/manual/

instead of Microsoft , you have free Debian

all the operating systems in the list will support the changes due to https/2

Debian is the way forward... We have just two customers left on Windows servers.

thank you but I did see this list, so you are saying the https/2 'is' for the iPhone apps which are no longer supported in 2012 but supported in 2016, correct?

As I mentioned, I'm new to this and I need to fully understand this.
please advise.

Thank you but I've never had good luck on those systems, so far my Windows has been spot on other than the iPhone app no longer being supported. I really prefer to stick to windows.
Thank you.

we moved to Debian version without any knowledge of this system., main reason the system was running on a non supported os

3cx makes it so easy to install using their iso image, wished we moved a lot earlier. The system has been rock solid , no issues
