Check the hardware capabilities

[ashfaq267]

Hello!

I am super new to this forum. Please guide me if this is not the right place to post this.
We have a server at work currently running on Oracle linux 7.6 server. How can I check if the hardware is capable for a switch to Rocky linux without booting? Will booting delete the Oracle linux?

Also is it possible to boot rocky without deleting any files currently available on the local drives?

Our IT is clueless and now I am left to search the internet for answers.

Thanks in advance

Use the Desktop/Workstation live images from this link: Download - Rocky Linux you can boot into the live environment without actually installing anything and you can see how much of your hardware works.

This link maybe for live images?
