I am the IT for a clinic and I am looking to upgrade the server from SQL 2012 Express (x86) to SQL 2012 x64 standard to fix some speed and reliability issues. Luckily the office is closed for the next four days so I have time to get this done, finally, but other than references I can't really find any instructions for doing this.
I know how to upgrade SQL Express as I have done it before, but I just want to make sure I preserve the data properly.
