Restore a 21.7.7 config to 22.1 possible?

[eponymous]

Title says it all really.

I need to reinstall opnsense on the same machine and was thinking about putting 22.1 on and then importing the 21.7.7 config I have backed up. Is that going to work?

Would it be better to reinstall 21.7 instead, upgrade to 21.7.7 and then import the config?

Thanks.

It works as long as the system doing the restore isn't older than the configuration file used.*

(*It works in those cases as well except when it doesn't for all sorts of code changes involved.)

Thanks for clarifying.
