Hi folks<br />
<br />
We have a fairly basic sharepoint 2007 installation, we have a few document libraries and some lists and other bits.<br />
<br />
We want to move to sharepoint 2010 but we are not too bothered about upgrading, as it would not take us too replicate the data on the new 2010 site.<br />
<br />
What I wondering is can we just install 2010 now on the same network and have a different URL for accessing it internally and then just set it up so it is a replica of the 2007 one. Then turn off old one and tell the staff there is a new address.<br />
<br />
Do we need to do anything to AD? will it affect AD<br />
<br />
Are we better to upgrade (2007 box is 32bit)<br />
<br />
any help would be great.<br />
<br />
Michael
