Have few queries before migrating FME Desktop and Server version 2015.1 to 2019
1. Whether OS Windows 2012 R2 will support FME Desktop and Server 2019?
2. Does FME workbench older version 2015.1 will work on version 2019?
3. Is ESRI ArcSDE 10.1 (.sde) file will connect through Direct Connection on FME Version 2019?
4. Is it possible to save or connect ESRI ArcGIS 10.1 FGDB file through FME version 2019?
Thanks in advance.
2. Old workspaces should work fine in 2019. FME has this really neat feature where after you have opened your old workspace in a newer version of FME you can right-click every transformer and choose "Upgrade Transformer...". That will open a dialog that shows you the old and new version number of the transformer and shows you the differences and lets you tweak your transformer with the new features that have come since you built your workspace in the old version. Genius!
Basically, yes to all the questions.

And - although they don't have version numbers in the same way - you can also update readers and writers, by right-clicking and choosing update in the Navigator window.
