I only know the way to install sql server and one of the steps while installing is to make it an instance.I don't know the way to make an instance on already installed sql server, I think it is not possible.

| You can't create two instances in one go. After installing the first one, run the setup file again and it will guide you through the process to create a second instance. Hope that helps. |
