I would like to change the name of my SQL Server instance. Is there a simple way of doing this or is a significant effort required? Note, this is a named instance - not the default instance.

I have seen a few makeshift ways of doing this, but I don't have confidence in any of them. I think I will simply install a new instance and transfer my information over.
