SQL Server 2017 Installation issue on window 7

Question

I am facing problem installing SQL Server 2017 (Developer as well as Express editions).

I get an error:

Your operating system is not supported by SQL Server 2017

My system configuration is:

• Windows 7 Professional, Service Pack 1
• 8 GB RAM, 64 bit OS, processor: 2.3 GHz

What is issue with my OS, what to do to install it?

Answer 1

SQL Server 2017 does not support Windows 7, you need at least Windows 8. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/install/hardware-and-software-requirements-for-installing-sql-server.
