Hello!

Is it possible to upgrade from SQL 2008 to SQL 2008 R2, or is it necessary
to uninstall the previous version first?

No one who can answer my question ??

In general you can, but it depends from what edition/architecture you
come and which you move to. This topic should have all details:

Same Platform, same Edition => Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit, SQL Server 2008
Enterprise 64bit => SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise 64bit

How to upgrade? Start setup.exe and let the installer do the upgrade?? ...or
do I have to do some [required] steps before upgrading? Any advice?

Thank you in advance,
Duncan.

I have not performed any upgrade, but I would expect that you just
insert the disc, and select the option to upgrade. But if you navigate
from the link that I gave you, you should be able to find a topic
about upgrading. Look at the TOC to the left and there a couple of
topics that can be of interest.
