Hi,

I have a 2008 SQL instance and I will move it to another server having SQL 2014 installed.

Any idea what the best steps are?

Thanks!

Faster. Detach database, copy files to new server and attach them.

As simple as this, no compatibility issues from 2008 to 2014?
How about the Jobs, the Login, etc... ?

Thanks!
