We are planning on reconfiguring our database server and then installing SQL 2008 R2 Standard edition in a side by side installation with SQL 2014 RTM. I have researched a little, and have not seen any major issues when planning this type of configuration.
Are there any issues that may occur with this?
2008 R2 will be in the default instance, and 2014 will be using a named instance. We do foresee uninstalling 2008 R2 after a period of time, and moving all of our databases to 2014 after testing has been performed. Once we uninstall 2008 R2, will we be able to install a default instance of 2014? Are there any special steps that need to be taken to do that?
