Xampp 2.5 Migration to newer Operating System

[Foerk]

I was trying to find a way to Migrate my Xampp 2.5 from my Windows Server 2003 to a Windows Server 2008 System.
Can i just Install Xampp 2.5 on Windows Server 2008 and copy my files? (I got recommended to use a newer Version of Xampp for Windows Server 2008)
Would a newer Version of Xampp be compatible with my datas from Xampp 2.5?

Thanks for your help!
