I picked up a client that is running 2008 (not R2) standard.  They want to purchase a new server and upgrade to 2019 standard.  Can this be completed in one step or do I need to go from 2008 to 2012R2 and then to 2019?  All links I am finding refer to 2008 R2.  The current hardware will not allow me to upgrade to 2008 R2 first.
