    Hello MontoN,

    Having SQL and EV on the same server is officially not supported. Therefor, I suggest you do the following:

    SQL-server - NEW server, W2008R2/Windows2012 with SQL2008R2. (x64 all)

    Move databases to new SQL server.

    EV - build new server (W2008R2). Make sure data and indexes are copied/synchronized to this server, and the path/drive names/letters are the same as on the original.

    Use Server Migration Wizrd to move the EV9 directly to EV10.
