Does service pack need to be reapplied after SQL Server Standard to Enterprise upgrade - sql-server-2008-r2

I am upgrading SQL Server from 2008 R2 Standard Edition Service Pack 1 to 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition as per the instructions at Upgrade to a Different Edition of SQL Server 2008 R2.
In the past whenever I have upgraded software in such a manner, I had to re-apply the service pack.
Does a SQL edition upgrade require a service pack re-install ? The MS documentation doesn't talk about it.
select ##version
after the upgrade gives me
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP1) - 10.50.2500.0 (X64) Jun 17 2011
00:54:03 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition
(64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)

I don't believe the service pack needs to be re-applied - if you run the service pack setup it shouldn't identify this instance as a valid target since the ##VERSION is already at the SP level.
That said, why not just apply Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 2 Cumulative Update #1?

Error when start an instance of SQLLOCQLDB 2017 on windows 7 64bit (entry point not found except)

I tried to start an instance of SQLLOCALDB 2017 on win7 (x64) but this message box Appears :
"The procedure entry point BCryptKeyDerivation could not be located in
the dynamic link library bcrypt.dll"
Anybody knows it's reason?
more info from CMD:

I had the same problem and I resolved it by uninstalling Sql Server LocalDB 2017 and installing the 2014 version.
Apparently the 2017 version is not compatible with Windows 7.
SQL Server 2017 Express LocalDB isn't supported on Windows 7. The SqlLocalDB.msi installer for me but when I tried to start an instance it would give the "BCryptKeyDerivation could not be located" error. Anecdotally the 2016 version is supposedly not supported, but it installed and default instances run for me.
Per Microsoft :
Supported Operating System:
Windows 10 , Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, Windows
Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016
Some additional information indicating that you'll need at least Windows 8
BCryptKeyDerivation function
The BCryptKeyDerivation function derives a key without requiring a
secret agreement. It is similar in functionality to BCryptDeriveKey
but does not require a BCRYPT_SECRET_HANDLE value as input.
Minimum supported client
Windows 8 [desktop apps | UWP apps]
Minimum supported server
Windows Server 2012 [desktop apps | UWP apps]
Install DotNET Core v2 SDK (More specifically v2.1.4 as of now)
The problem is caused by the version of assemblies for cryptographic algorithms currently installed on your PC offered via DotNET:
System.Security.Cryptography
System.Security.Cryptography.Cng
The mentioned update provides the missing dependencies. Read more about the dependencies on Nuget information page.

I enabled 'dotnet framework 3.5' which is under 'Turn windows features on or off' in programs menu of control panel. I installed 'Sql Server 2008 SP3' before installing 'Sql Server 2008 R2'. But same issue arised. Then I uninstalled 'Sql Server 2008 SP3' and installed 'Sql Server 2008 R2 SP2' before installing 'Sql Server 2008 R2'. But there is no use. My windows updates are up to date. I am strggling with this issue for 3 days. I need your suggestions.

Can I install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 on Windows 2008 Server Standard SP1

I have Windows server 2008 standard service pack 1 with .Net FrameWork 3.5 sp1, can I install
Microsoft 4.5 framework without installing Microsoft framework 4.0 before?
Also if you look at the system requirements you will see that prerequisite is Windows Server 2008 SP2 while I have only SP1 and it seems I can't install SP2.
I just installed 4.5 on Win2K8 Server and it installed fine (without installing 4.0 prior).
NOTE: In IIS the application pool will still show up at 4.0 although the 4.5 install succeeded.
