Default installation to named one

Hi,
I have installed sql server on one of my box as a named installation and now
I want to change it to default one without re-installing sql server.
Please suggest how should I go for it. Also, whether it is possible or not.
Thanks in advance
Manu JaidkaHello,
You will have to install a default instance and copy the databases including
system databases over to default instance
using Backup and restore or detach and Attach.
Thanks
