What version of OTP 27/28/29 do you recommend me to install on a Windows 2016 server?

You should be able to use any Erlang version with the latest Windows 2016 Server, so I would suggest you use Erlang/OTP 29 unless for some reason that does not work.

Thanks, glad I asked here. Because Claude told me to stick with OTP 27, because version 2016 is not the most recent Windows server.
