installed Postgres using these instructions:

But if 9.6 is no longer supported, can I still use it to access my database? I assumed I would need to migrate to the most recent version of PostgreSQL, but maybe that was a wrong assumption?
1) You can copy/paste the error message and provide as text.
2) Assuming you are installing Postgres 16 from the EDB package, the
from here:
https://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/
PostgreSQL Version 64 Bit Windows Platforms
16 2022, 2019
[...]
11 2019, 2016, 2012 R2
10 2016, 2012 R2 & R1, 7, 8, 10
3) From here:
https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads
9.6 can still be downloaded.
It is not a supported version, but you can at least use it to access
your database.
4) You need to provide a more detailed explanation of what you are
trying to achieve.
5) 9.6 -> 16 is six major version jump. That means some research needs
to be done, starting with determining what version of PostGIS you need
to be using.
Thank you for your help,

What OS and version are you running?
How did you install Postgres?
