We use local copies of SQL Server for development work. Wanting to upgrade from 2012 Express to 2014 Express on my workstation, I downloaded SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe, ran it, and clicked upgrade from previous version. The upgrade completed with no errors.
When finished I have a second group of program shortcuts in my start menu. The 2012 config no longer works. When I open the 2014 config it shows the instance as MSSQLSERVER and startup parameters using the same master.mdf as before. If I open Management Studio and select @@version it shows SQL Server 2012.
Does 2014 still use pieces from 2012? Do I need to remove all 2012 and all 2014, then reinstall from scratch? Thanks
