   I would rather install an instance of SQL 2012. Or be brave and install   
   the current CTP of SQL 2014. It all depends on why you have SQL Server   
   installed in the first place.

   If you upgrade your current instance, your database with be upgraded   
   to the format of SQL 2008 R2. However, you don't need to do an upgrade,   
   but you could install a second instance and in this case, the databases   
   you have on SQL 2008 will not be affected.
