5. On the new instance, Open a new Query Editor window, and then run the output script from above
6. On new instance, Run "EXEC sp_change_users_login 'Auto_Fix', 'USERNAME'" on each user (replacing USERNAME with the user's actual name)
7. At this point, all databases have been restored to the new sql instance and all logins should be imported and working
8. Stop both (old and new) instances of SQL Server
9. Use the 'SQL Server Configuration Manager' to edit the 'TCP/IP' settings for the new instance of SQL.

   2. Change the Static Port to '1433'
10. Start the new instance of SQL Server (With the TCP/IP changes, this is now the default instance)
