Any concerns with WHD when moving the database or updating the SQL Server and/or Server OS?

We are using WHD 12.8.1 (HF1) and would like to migrate the backend database from its current server to a new one. It looks like we can stop WHD at the application level; backup and restore the database to the new location; turn the application back on; change the database configuration in the WHD Application. 

It is still SQL Server, however the database will be restored on a different version of SQL Server with a different OS version.

Are there any concerns we should be aware of? Any configuration changes (other than pointing the application to the new location) required?

We will be going from SQL Server 12 to SQL Server 15.
