Hi,
I've just done an in-place upgrade in a VM from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012 and noticed that after the upgrade the old folders of the SQL Server 2008 R2 instance are still present. I always assumed these would be removed? I can see that the upgrade went fine since the SQL Server windows services point to the MSXX11 folders and if i connect to the SQL Server with SSMS it report itself as being SQL Server 2012.
And one other strange thing is that all my system databases are still in the original 2008 R2 folders and that their database compatibility level is still SQL Server 2008. Also in the server settings (under Database Settings) the data, log, and backup folder still point to the 2008 R2 folders
I'm 100% sure that no errors where given during the in-place upgrade...
