12. In-place upgrade
If your Team Foundation Server 2010 is up to date and meets both the hardware and software requirements, an in-place upgrade may be your best option
Choose time when server can be taken offline
Run Best Practices Analyzer for TFS 2010
Do backup of server and trial restore
Uninstall Team Foundation Server 2010
Install Team Foundation Server 2012 RC choosing the Upgrade installation type
Follow steps in upgrade wizard
Run the Best Practices Analyzer for TFS 2012

13. Migration based upgrade
Migration based upgrades require two Team Foundation Servers. One running your previous version and one running Team Foundation Server 2012 RC
Choose time when server can be taken offline
Run Best Practices Analyzer for TFS 2010
Using TFS Administration console, detach the Team Project Collection
Detach the database and copy to new data tier
Using TFS Administration console, attach the Team Project Collection. This will do the necessary schema upgrade
Run Best Practices Analyzer for TFS 2012

14. Post migration-based upgrade
Migration based upgrades do not automatically bring your SharePoint content across to the new server
Copy over the WSS_Content database for the TPC and add it via the STSADM Add command
After the Content database is added, you can add the portals for each of the Team Projects

15. Post migration considerations
Reports in the Team Projects are not upgraded.
The SharePoint portal connections need to be re-established.
All existing team projects are still at a pre-2012 functional level due to the process template they were created with.
