You can check the compatibility list here <https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/123285>. - Make sure that you have a backup of your UTM 9 configuration and data. You can use the backup/restore feature in UTM 9 to create a backup file and store it on a safe location. - Make sure that you have the latest UTM 9 firmware installed on your appliance. You can check for updates in UTM 9 under System > Up2Date. - Make sure that you have enough time and resources to complete the migration process. The migration may take up to an hour or more depending on your network size and configuration. - Make sure that you inform your users and stakeholders about the migration plan and schedule. The migration will cause a temporary downtime of your network and services.
