Upgrade from sqlserver 2008 to sqlserver 2014, can I put software into different drive other than C: ?

Originally my sqlserver 2008 software was installed into E:, but I didn't see any drive selection options available during the upgrade steps, so now my sqlserver 2014 is installed into default C: drive.
If there are any ways to specify different drive ?
Thanks

“Upon doing the initial upgrade, can I designate the target drive/letter”? 
I didn’t see  a place to change it in the upgrade process.
I don't want to uninstall sqlserver 2008, I just want to upgrade from 2008 to 2014 and be able to put the sqlserver 2014 software into the same drive (not C:) as my sqlserver 2008 is.
If previous version was on E drive upgraded version should remain on E drive as well. AFAIK there does not comes an option to specify different drive letter when doing in place upgrade how ever if you do side by side upgrade you can install new instance
of 2014 on what ever drive you like
In side by side upgrade you have to first install SQL Server 2014 and then move databases using backup and restore then migrate logins and jobs using scripting method.
After you are sure your upgrade process is complete you can uninstall 2008 instance.
How do you check your SQL Server 2014 is installed on C drive. Please  note even if you install SQL server on some other drive(like D,E..) some binaries always go on C drive thet nature is by default , if you are looking at binaries then its wrong to
deduce that your SQL Server is on C drive.
Can you go to E drive can you see program files..Microsoft SQL Server ?
Please also read file location of Installed SQL server Instance

  • Can I instal Reader to a drive other than C:?

    Is someone able to tell me how to instal Reader to a drive other than C:?
    I am trying to free up space on C: and prefer to load the Reader files into another drive, but I did not see an option to do that when downloading, and the installer just starts automatically without prompting for a target folder.

    Use the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and click on Change Destination Folder

  • Can i install iCloud on a drive other than C:?

    I am installing i Cloud on a Windows 7  but do not have an option of putting it any where but C drive. How can i install it to another drive? I keeep my operating system on a small partition and install all my programs to a larger partition.

    Install it normally, launch it with the Shift key held down, and create a new library on the desired drive. The iTunes application contains system components and therefore must be installed on the drive or partition containing the OS.

  • Can i move itunes to another drive other than my c drive?

    I use a smallish SSD drive for my os and a couple games, i was curious if there is away to move  itunes from the C drive to a Bigger storage drive and still be able to fully use it.  Just need more space for Itunes and it contents.
    thanks for any help on the subject.

    Niel's advice above will work better. Moving the entire library as unit and then connecting to it works, and makes the next move easy too. Moving the media alone and then editing the media folder location in preferences doesn't work reliably, and may leave the library with broken connections to the old paths that need to be repaired.
    @Rockdwg: If you have any iOS devices you may also want to relocate the backup folder.

  • How can I install Illustrator on a different drive other than C

        My c drive is full and I don't want to mess with the Windows registry.  Is there an option to manually choose where the app is installed?

    For CC this option is set globally for all apps in the CC app's settings. There is no way to only install individual apps selectively to other locations.

  • How can I install Adobe Reader 11 to a drive other than C:\?

    I downloaded Reader 11, but at no point during the installation process am I prompted for an installation location.  How can I install this to a drive other than the C:\?  I keep my C:\ and data storage drive separate so in the event the OS crashes I won't lose my data.  I have limited storage capacity since I'm on a laptop so I didn't make my C:\ very large, so that I would have more room for my D:\.  Any suggestions?
    Sincerely,
                    LT Gannon

    having data on a different drive is a good idea.  installing programs on a drive different from you os containing drive is generally not a good idea.  but if you have the expertise and are sure of what you're doing:

    Hello - I upgraded from photoshop cc to cc 2014 and lost my plug ins.  How can I move them into cc 2014? Thanks

    The install of 2014 doesn't move or copy anything from a previous version, with the exception of settings. You can go into your Photoshop CC installation folder, navigate to your plugins folder and then just copy all the plugins you've installed from that folder and into the Photoshop CC 2014 plugins folder. The plugins should then be available in 2014 the next time you launch Photoshop.
    The only thing that may prevent this from working is if you're using the 32bit version of Photoshop CC. Photoshop CC 2014 is 64bit only so 32bit plugins don't work. If this is the case for you, check out the manufacturer of the plugins and see if they have 64bit versions available.

  • Upgraded from CS 6 to CC 2014 with CS4 Extension

    I recently upgraded from Adobe CS6 to CC 2014. I had a custom DW CS4 extension installed and working in CS6. When I converted the mxp file to a zxp file, and then attempted to install the zxp file to CC 2014, I received an error message stating "THe extension can not be installed, it requires Dreamweaver version CS4 or greater." I obviously have CS4 or greater. Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thanks
    Mark

    Each extension limits which versions of the host application can run it. Dreamweaver CC 2014 might fall outside the version range of the extension.
    You have to repackage the extension using the new "Adobe Exchange Packager" and make sure the product version in the mxi encompass version 14.
    Example:
    <products>
         <product version="14.0" primary="true" name="Dreamweaver"/>
    </products>
    In this, I assume you are in control of the source files of the extension. If not, this is an issue for the author.

    If you migrated all the info from time machine to your new MBP. The TM will usually ask to connect to the old backups.. sorry I am not sure is this what you want to do.. Personally I think you start a fresh backup.
    BTW Time Capsule does not do anything.. it is a dumb hard disk in a box.. it is TM that does everything.
    Look at B5 and B6 here about connecting to your backup.
