Set start value for column with autoincrement

I have a table Orders with the following fields:

Id | SubTotal | Tax | Shipping | DateCreated

The Id column is set to autoincrement(1,1).

This is to be used in an E-commerce storefront. Sometimes a current E-commerce store is migrated to my platform and they already have orders - which could mean that their current Order.Id is, for example, 9586.

I want to have the autoincrement field start from that value.

How can I do this?

In the Table Designer on SQL Server Management Studio you can set the where the auto increment will start. Right-click on the table in Object Explorer and choose Design, then go to the Column Properties for the relevant column:

Here the autoincrement will start at 760
