Is service pack 4 sql 2012 on windows 2019 supported
July 31, 2020 at 3:52 pm
according to the documentation for SQL Server 2012 - no:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/sql/sql-server-2012/ms143506(v=sql.110)?redirectedfrom=MSDN
Here it says that you are looking at Windows Server 2012 if you want to be in a supported configuration. That documentation is specific to SQL 2012, not an individual service pack, but the release notes for SP4 make no mention of "new" OS's being supported configurations:
Will it run? Possibly. Randolph West has a good blog on supported versions and "will it run on Server 2019":

And Glenn Berry has a compatability matrix:
https://glennsqlperformance.com/2019/12/16/operating-system-support-for-sql-server-versions/
Randolph's notes indicate that it does run on Sever 2019, but they would not use it as a production system.
The above is all just my opinion on what you should do.
As with all advice you find on a random internet forum - you shouldn't blindly follow it. Always test on a test server to see if there is negative side effects before making changes to live!
I recommend you NEVER run "random code" you found online on any system you care about UNLESS you understand and can verify the code OR you don't care if the code trashes your system.
