MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Sp2 express edition with vSphere 6.5

Hi,

I am planning for vSphere 5.5 upgrade to vSphere 6.5 .

Current vSphere 5.5 database is pointed to MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Sp2 express edition. 

Could you please let me know the necessary steps to be taken care prior to vSphere upgrade and during upgrade as well for DB?

We have challenges and unable to get account credentials for DB login , how do I proceed without DB  accounts/permissions ?.

Regards,

What may be an option is to "Migrate" to the vCenter Server appliance instead of using the Windows version.

Please note that Windows based vCenter Server is not available anymore with the current 7.0 version, so you may need to migrate to the appliance anyway at some point in time.
