  Hi Jigar,

  download the implementation guide this will give you all the information you need regards to infrastructure and system requirements:

  http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=3621

  Note: the important requirement to note is that only 64bits operating systems are now supported for CRM 2011

  There are 3 ways to upgrade:

  1. In-place upgrade (not recommended because if it goes wrong you can't roll-back)
  2. Connect to an existing deployment (always backup CRM 4 database prior to upgrade)
  3. Install CRM 2011 and import CRM4 database

  The last two options are the recommended, but obviously depends on each company/client situation

  Option 2 you install CRM 2011 and select to connect to an existing environment and this will upgrade CRM 4

  Option 3:

  1. install CRM 2011 as normal
  2. BAckup Organization database MyCRM_MSCRM CRM 4
  3. Restore the backed up database to the CRM2011database server
  4. import the organization via deployment manager.
  5. this will bring your plugins and upgrades your CRM 4

   

  Please mark as answered if this answers your question.

  Thanks

  Regards

  Nuno
