Verify exact version on current install. You cannot downgrade SQL versions, meaning if you are using a "full" SQL version you cannot easily downgrade to Express. Also SQL 2012 Express is now support for RMS 2.0 CU5 and above.

Hi.

When you upgrade to windows 10, it is savvy (aarrgh!) to upgrade to the latest versions of RMS. Actually it is best to uninstall RMS before the windows upgrade, then reinstall. Then run all the RMS updates consecutively.

SQL versions 2008 & 2012 will run on windows 10. After you install that and reattach your database, you can upgrade the database in the store ops manager connect to the db, database, upgrade.

There are components in windows 10, I believe, that overight the RMS ones, like the MDAC companent locations -

so it is best to do a clean install.

When you upgraded to RMS 2.0, did you log into Store Operations Administrator and upgrade the database?

Please also note that SQL 2005 is not compatible with Windows 10.

Thank you,

Actually, SQL 2012 Express is not recommended for use on any RMS version before RMS 2.0.2020. I believe if you review the hot fix list, you will find that an issue preventing RMS users from backing up (who were on SQL or attempted to use SQL 2012 Express) was recently corrected by that hotfix.

Since both 2008 R2 Express SP 3 and SQL 2012 Express both have a database capacity cap of 10 GB I believe most experienced installers who preferred not to experience difficulties with backups up until now, only installed SQL 2008 R2 Express SP 3.

The file path by the way from 0 to RMS 2.0.2020 the most recent version is only 4 files

(there is nothing in between - no service packs or feature packs are required).

1. RMS 2.0 Setup = 2.0.0105

2. RMS CU 5 = 2.0.2000

3.RMS CU 5 Help Files

4. Hot fix 60 = 2.0.2020

Hope this helps.

Cheers

I believe he states express not full.

You were correct about the downgrade part however nice catch.

Not sure there is an upgrade path from Windows XP to Windows 10 that I've heard of?

RE: MS RMS Upgrade to Win 10 from XP

In the end we are forgetting two things.

First, you should keep up your tech support for many reasons, and one is to have access to the latest incarnations of RMS.

Second, Windows XP? Seriously? With all due respect, you are running your business on a computer that is how old?

Hard drives don't last that long, and I don't know about you guys but I also have a retail store and if my register went down

it would be a problem. I even have another machine ready to swap. Not fancy ones, mind you. But you can get a pretty good

reconditioned computer from tigerdirect or newegg (or many other places, I'm sure) that are a lot cheaper than your time spent

trying to make old stuff work.

Last is the old machines won't have enough horsepower to run new things like the latest SQL edition, etc., etc.

Just sayin'.
