Hi Roman. Without knowing hardware specs, it's literally impossible for anyone to estimate how long an upgrade would take. Even with specs, it's a tough estimate. I'd recommend you to attempt a run using a test server. Simply backup all your databases, and restore them on the test server running SQL 2012. That ought to give you some basic ideas.
