Upgrade NAV2009 to NAV2013R2

I want to update a NAV2009 database to NAV2013R2, but only the executables (no upgrade)
I'm doing the following steps:
- Making a backup and restore in a new copy. Using that copy from now on.
- Deleting all Forms and Dataport objects
- Open the database in NAV2013 development client and confirm to convert
- Open the Object Designer and select all Report objects, go to Tools-> Upgrade Reports
This run gives errors for reports (and I expect that due to missing links to forms). There is a tool called 'TextFormatUpgrade2013 Tool' that will fix those links. But not sure if I need to run that in order to finalize the update to NAV2013R2.
- The next step would be to open the database in the NAV2013R2 development client but that fails.
I probably miss some steps here. (I'm basically interested in the report objects to import in a different NAV2013R2 db)
Please advise.
Thanks.

Then Upgrade them.... Tools-> Upgrade Reports, in NAV 2013.
Then move them to NAV 2013 R2 and compile them.
Now activate all AL code again in NAV 2013 R2, and fix compile errors in NAV 2013 R2.
And if they are all Classic reports, it is time to do some Layout in Visual Studio.
