14.0.4762.1000
My backup is from version '14.0.0.6120' which we lost the windows and sharepoint install drive
the new server has just been installed but the version is newer 14.0.4762.1000
so it wont take my backup file, Is there an old version I can install instead?
I also have the .mdf file if there is a way to restore from that (as the databases were not installed on the drive we lost)
