Install SharePoint
(Small Business users can skip this step.)
After you have installed all of the prerequisite software, you are ready to install SharePoint.
Use the same version of SharePoint
To move SharePoint, both the source computer and the destination computer must have the same version and service pack of SharePoint. (UMove will warn you if they are not compatible.)
Install SharePoint
Install SharePoint using the SharePoint installation DVD/CD disc.
Setup will prompt you to enter the path for the installation folder and for the search folder. When prompted enter the same paths that were used to install SharePoint on the original computer. (If the paths do not match UMove will warn you.)
SQL Server: If you need to install SQL Server do so now. Install the same version of SQL Server with same service pack, same installation path, and same instance name that was used on the original computer. (If the information does not match UMove will warn you.)
SharePoint 2010: When prompted during installation run the SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard to set up the initial (empty) SharePoint database. (UMove will later overwrite the empty database with a copy of the real database from the source computer.) If your SharePoint site is using a remote database server located on another computer, enter that information instead.
Next step: Move AD and the SharePoint database
