Upgrade SonarQube on Windows Server with SQL Server using a safer, step-by-step process based on SonarQube’s official upgrade guidance.
In this video, I walk through how to upgrade a self-hosted SonarQube instance on Windows Server, prepare the new installation, move configuration, run the database upgrade, and verify that the upgraded server is working correctly. Sonar’s documentation recommends reading the target and intermediate upgrade notes, testing on a staging environment first, and backing up the database before upgrading.

This tutorial is useful if you run SonarQube on Windows Server as part of your development or CI/CD environment and want a clearer upgrade workflow. Sonar’s upgrade guide also notes that if you run SonarQube through an external script or Windows Service, you need to update it to point to the new installation directory after the upgrade.
If you use Microsoft SQL Server with Windows Authentication, Sonar also recommends verifying that you are using a supported Microsoft SQL JDBC Driver version after the upgrade. Sonar’s post-upgrade guidance also recommends checking scanner versions so they stay compatible with the upgraded server.
