Hello, I am planning to upgrade our SQL Server 2008 Express to 2017 Express. Can you guys please review my plan and suggest anything that I should do different. The SQL Server is running on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard. 1- Backup the user databases 2- Install SQL Server 2017 Express 3- Restore user databases to new instance on SQL Server 2017 Express 4- Uninstall SQL Server 2008 Express 5- Rename the SQL Server 2017 Express instance to match the name of the old Server 2008 instance so that our application can connect to it Thanks for your help.
Edit: Do you have any recommendations of online courses or a website where I can educate myself about SQL Server upgrades? I already watched everything at CBTNuggets.
