If you need to upgrade your version of SQL Server, we recommend the following methods, from easy to more complex:
Upgrade SQL Server in-place (recommended).
Install a new version of SQL Server on a new computer. Then to point your site server at the new SQL Server, use the database move option of Configuration Manager setup.
Use backup and recovery.
Note
Make sure to also upgrade versions of SQL Server Express at secondary sites.
