Upgrading from SQL 2008 to SQL 2012 - Changing database file paths to \MSSQL11.{InstanceName}\MSSQL\DATA\{DBName}.mdf

I am doing an inplace upgrade of SQL 2008 to SQL 2012. The inplace upgrade leaves the database files to the same directory structure as SQL 2008.

Example :  \MSSQL10.{InstanceName}\MSSQL\DATA\{DBName}.mdf

I was wondering if there is some option in the setup, that would cause the files to be moved to  \MSSQL11.{InstanceName}\MSSQL\DATA\{DBName}.mdf (behaviour for a new SQL 2012 install)

The move will be on the same drive letter.  Just trying to see if there's a way to do this easily. I know we can do this manually by moving the system DBs first and then the user databases.
