Not able to migrate defaultcollection from tfs 2010 to tfs 2012

I am trying to migrate projects from TFS 2010 to TFS 2012. I am following the steps given below:

  • Detach Team Project Collection
  • Back up the collection database and restore it in target machine.

Some of the projects are in DefaultCollection project. When I try to attach the collection in Team Foundation server, I do not get the option to restore DefaultCollection. I am not able to connect to this collection from visual studio. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here. Have I missed any step during the migration? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you configured the Application Tier on the target server using Team Foundation Server Administration Console?

If that install/configuration left you with an empty DefaultCollection already there, you need to either delete that or rename your original collection to avoid naming collision.
