How can I downgrade from 2012 R2 Standard to 2008 R2 Enterprise?

Question

What are the actual steps of downgrading from 2012 R2 to 2008 R2? I'm finding plenty of information on how the licensing works for that, and I understand it all, but can't seem to find any information on the actual downgrade process.

Answer 1

There are downgrade rights, but not a downgrade path. In other words, wipe and reinstall.
