There is not much difference between 2010 and 20012 MTM. The subtle differences are covered in any number of blog posts. However I often forget what order you need to create settings when installing form scratch, hence this post.
Close visual studio
Install visual studio test edition or ultimate.
Reboot not once, but twice.
If you have not already done so, install TFS power tools to modify areas and iterations.
open test manager
create all your test plans for each project names should be meaningful from iteration to iteration if the test plans is reusable
write your test plans to be reusable as much as possible.
create a lab environment
create roles based on the environment
...stopping here as TMT 2012 does not allow environment configuration against TFS 2010.
