| What steps should I follow to upgrade sqlserver 2008R2 to Sqlserver 2012? Can I build a sqlserver 2012 server and then migrate the databases? |

| There is extensive documentation and guidance available on MSDN about upgrading. There is also an upgrade advisor that you can/should run.You can certainly build a SQL 2012 server and migrate the databases - typically you would do that if you were also upgrading your hardware at the same time. |
