The Team Foundation Server 11 beta is available for download, including a "go live" license and support, meaning that you can start using the beta for real projects and there will be a supported upgrade path to the final release. If you are using an earlier version of Team Foundation Server, this video is meant to provide you with information to assist you with the upgrade process.

Most scenarios will "just work" when upgrading to the new release. However, depending on the complexity of your existing Team Foundation Server deployment, the capabilities you are using, and the customizations you have made, there may be additional steps for you to consider in order to ensure the smoothest upgrade path.

This video is focused on upgrading the core components of Team Foundation Server, including the database. A second video focuses on how to upgrade process templates which were created using an earlier version of Team Foundation Server to take advantage of the new capabilities.

Mohamed, thanks for sharing!!! I wonder if there's a way to upload a higher quality version of your video to YouTube? It was very fuzzy and I didn't see a higher quality version.

What about upgrading to SQL 2012? Are there any benefits to upgrading to SQL 2012 compared to running SQL 2008 R2.

What about upgrading Build Controllers?

What about upgrading Lab Management Environments?

What about upgrading Test Controllers?

How do we consolidate multiple TPCs into 1 Dev11 TPC?

Great videos but I have so many questions now.

Will we finally be able to run TFS headless on Windows Server Core?
