Since we recommend doing a "move based upgrade", we don’t like the "in place upgrade" option, these are the steps:
- Copy the TFS2008 backups to TFS2010 server (e.g. C:\TfsBackups)
- Restore all the databases to TFS2010’s instance of SQL 2008
- Install Team Foundation Server 2010
- After the install has completed the Team Foundation Server Configuration Wizard will open
- Select Upgrade | Start Wizard 
- Click "Next" 
- Click "List Available Databases"
- Select the TfsIntegration database
- Check "By checking this box, I confirm that I have a current backup"
- Click "Next" 
- Select "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" for the System account
- Click "Next" 
- Click "Next" 
- Click "Next" 
- Click "Next" 
- Click "Next" 
- Specify the TFSService account
- Click "Next" 
- Click "Next" 
- Click "Next" 
- Click "Next" 
- Click "Next" 
- Click "Configure" 
- Have coffee (2 hours)
BTW: A good user interface should have a coffee image [TODO: Martin to create new rule in "Rules to better UI"] [TODO: Martin to add suggestion to TFS] 
- Click "Next" 
- Click "Close" 
- Click "Close" 
- Change the DNS entry for tfs.northwind.com to point to TFS2010 on
