Microsoft slows Windows 10 release cadence to yearly.If both DFS servers are Windows 2008 R2 then you can now disable the old server in the DFS Name Server list using the DFS Management Console, if one of the servers is running a previous version of windows not proceed to step 10.Plus, the Lansweeper data threw up some statistics that could be more concerning than the snails-pace adoption of Windows 11.Again, wait for AD DS replication to ensure that the additional server is listed on DFS clients (use dfsutil /pktinfo to verify).Set referral order override configure the new server as “First amongst all targets” and the old server as “Last amongst all targets” using the DFS Management Console.Wait for AD DS replication to ensure that the additional server is listed on DFS clients (use dfsutil /pktinfo to verify).Add new server to DFS Namespace(s) that you have replicated the data for using the DFS Management Console.Before proceeding make sure that all data is replicated.

For fairly static data the last two are fine, for data that changes more frequently I would choose DFS.
