Upgrade TFS Basic or Express

Basic TFS upgrade

To upgrade Team Foundation Server Basic or Express

Tip

This topic is for upgrading a basic installation of TFS (no SharePoint, no reporting). If you have an installation with SharePoint or reporting, consider using the standard TFS upgrade (an in-place upgrade) or the advanced TFS upgrade (move TFS to a new machine) instead.

For more information, see: TFS application tier will use the same hardware it’s using right now or TFS Application Tier will use different hardware than it’s using right now

Step 1Double Check. Verify that the operating system and hardware meet the requirements for the new version of Team Foundation Server. You must use a 64-bit server if you use a server operating system.

Determine the service account you will use for Team Foundation Server. By default, TFS uses Network Service. In most cases, you should use the same account you used for the previous installation or consider using Network Service.

For more information, see: System requirements for Team Foundation Server, or Accounts required for installation of Team Foundation Server.

Step 2Visit Microsoft Update. If you’re using SQL Server Express for TFS, use Microsoft Update to make sure that SQL Server Express has the latest service pack (SP). Similar to Windows Update, Microsoft Update is for Microsoft software other than operating systems. Use the Windows Update Control Panel to opt into Microsoft Update and check for updates.

Tip

If you don’t know if you’re using SQL Express, look at the Application Tier node in the TFS administration console. Scroll down to Data Tier Summary and look for SQLServerExpress to confirm.

Step 3Uninstall TFS 2010. Use Control Panel to completely uninstall Team Foundation Server 2010. If you’re upgrading TFS 2012, you don’t have to uninstall the old version of TFS. You can skip this step and we’ll even preserve some of your settings.
