We have a new server where we are installing MediaWiki version 1.41.1. We also have an older version 1.34. We need to bring the data from the old version to the new version. What would be the best method for this? Would exporting the pages from the old version & importing them to the new version be a good solution?

If its a new server, the best method would be copying the database and LocalSettings.php over (and images, and maybe extensions) and follow the steps at Upgrading.

I do not think it matters what OS.
