You gonna have many problems with that. First of all almost all extensions run on MySQL and they are not prepared for MSSQL. Other thing is that Joomla! MySQL database is a bit complicated and can break after converting.

You can try it like this:

  • Create a copy of your website files on other account, on that one we'll do the test
  • Export website database from phpMyAdmin using a capability mode to MSSQL
  • Import the database into your MSSQL server and create proper credentials
  • Change db driver to mssql and credentials in configuration.php to your new credentials
  • Enable system debug and pray
