I would like to know how to update my Windows server 2008 which is out of support.
We are planning to migrate our Windows server 2008 to Azure to get extended support.
I am planning to use Site Recovery for this purpose, but I have the following requirement.
"Ensure that you have the latest service pack and Windows updates installed before migrating".
I would like to update Windows server 2008 to meet this requirement, is there any way to update Windows server 2008 that is no longer supported?

The simplest method is to turn on automatic windows updates.

Thank you for your answer.
I am aware that Site Recovery can only migrate the latest version of the OS, but in the case of Windows Server 2008, does this mean that updates up to January 14, 2020, before support expires, are fine?
Yes, it sure looks that way.
