Installing a 2012 DC in a all 2008R2 Domain - Keep Name of existing DC

$

Management wants me to install a new 2012 Domain Controller though keep the name of the Existing DC Server.

The Existing DC had DNS, DHCP, WINS, Print Services, Trend Micro OfficeScan, and a few other things running on it.  There are several other DCs in the Local Site.

I've never performed an Upgrade from one OS version to another, always seems like a bad thing to do, is this the same for 2012?

What are my Options?  

Demote the DC, Change its name/IP, Install new server with Old Name/IP, and install DNS, DHCP, WINS, Print Services, Trend Micro OfficeScan, and a few other things. 

In-Placde Upgrade?

Thanks,

  Scott<-
