I am of the opinion that attempting an in-place major version upgrade of 
an operating system or a service is folly.  The only reliable method is 
to do a fresh install on another computer, and then migrate.


This means you need at least three computers -- one that you are 
migrating off, one that you are migrating onto, and one (or more) for 
everything else you need to keep operational while you do the migration. 
  Mobile racks and spare drives will help immensely.
