Note
Unless noted otherwise, when an OS is supported for a SQL Major version, it remains supported for all subsequent servicing releases. For example, if SQL Server 2016 RTM is supported on Windows 10, this implies that any CUs on top of SQL Server 2016 RTM or SQL Server 2016 Service Pack 1 (SP1) are supported on Windows 10.

- Which editions of SQL Server are compatible with which versions of Windows?
- What are the .NET Framework requirements for my SQL version?
Use the More Information/Limitations column in the above table to find additional information about running SQL server on the specific operating system.
For example, if you want to install SQL Server 2016 Developer Edition on Windows 10 Professional:
Check if SQL Server 2016 is supported on Windows 10. The corresponding value in the above table is Yes (SP2).
Yes indicates that SQL Server 2016 on Windows 10 is supported. Lara croft go the mirror of spirits download free.
(SP2) indicates that SQL Server 2016 should be updated to at least SP2 for it to be supported on Windows 10.

Support for switching modes in Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2012
Mac Os X Server Download
This section discusses the support policy when you switch Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2012 operating modes while SQL Server is installed.
Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2012 have the following feature states, or modes:
- Full Server
- Minimal Server Interface
- Server CoreYou can switch between these feature states at any time.
You can switch from Server Core or Minimal Server Interface to Full Server when one or more instances of SQL Server 2014 or SQL Server 2012 are installed. However, be aware that you cannot switch from Full Server to Minimal Server Interface or Server Core when one or more instances of SQL Server 2014 or SQL Server 2012 are installed.
To switch from Full Server to Minimal Server Interface or Server Core when one or more instances of SQL Server 2014 or SQL Server 2012 are installed, you must uninstall SQL Server 2014 or SQL Server 2012, switch modes, and then reinstall SQL Server 2014 or SQL Server 2012. However, you can turn on SQL Server 2014 or SQL Server 2012 installation prerequisites in Full Server mode, switch to Server Core mode, and then install SQL Server 2014 or SQL Server 2012.
Note
Minimal Server is a Server Core installation that has Server Manager and other server tools installed. Therefore, the SQL Server Setup program performs the same installation steps in Windows Server 2012 R2 Minimal Server Interface mode and Windows Server 2012 Minimal Server Interface mode and Server Core mode. Additionally, you can switch between Server Core and Minimal Server when one or more instances of SQL Server 2014 or SQL Server 2012 are installed. This is a supported scenario.
SQL Server Reporting Services 2012 is not supported on Windows Server 2012 R2 Server Core, Windows Server 2012 Server Core, Windows Server 2012 R2 Minimal Server Interface mode, or Windows 2012 Minimal Server Interface mode. You can install SQL Server Reporting Services 2012 on a server that is running Windows Server 2012 in Full Server mode and then switch to Windows Server 2012 Server Core mode. However, this configuration is not supported.
We recommend that you uninstall all the SQL Server 2012 features that are not supported on a server that is running Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2012 in Server Core mode. For information about how to do this, see Install SQL Server 2012 on Server Core).
This issue does not apply to SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2008 R2. SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2 are not supported in Minimal Server Interface mode or Server Core mode.
For more information about the installation options that are available when you install Windows Server 2012, see Windows Server Installation Options.

| Resilient File System (ReFS) | ReFS is not supported in SQL 2012 and all other down-level versions. SQL Server 2014 supports ReFS. | ||||
| Mitigation of RAM Hardware Errors | LazyWriter | Checksum page sniffer | SQL Server 2012 | When SQL Server 2012 is installed on a Windows 2012 operating system with hardware that supports bad memory diagnostics, you will notice new error messages like 854, 855, and 856 instead of the 832 errors that LazyWriter usually generates. | |
| Number of instances per cluster | High availability | Failover Clustering | SQL Server 2012 | 25 per failover cluster when you use drive letters and up to 50 if you are using SMB file share storage | |
| Cluster Share Volumes (CSV's) | Beginning in SQL Server 2014, AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances supports Clustered Shared Volumes (CSV) in both Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012. For more information on CSV, see Understanding Cluster Shared Volumes in a Failover Cluster. CSVs are not supported in versions prior to SQL Server 2014. |
SQL Server 2005 information
This section provides support information about instances of SQL Server 2005 in Windows 8.1 or Windows 8 environments. It also describes the options that are available for customers who are using SQL Server 2005. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (the release version and service packs) and earlier versions of SQL Server are not supported on Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, or Windows 8. You will receive a warning in the Action Center if Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 8 detects an instance of SQL Server 2005.
To resolve this issue, upgrade or remove the existing instance of SQL Server 2005. For information about how to upgrade SQL Server, see Upgrade to SQL Server.

Notes
iCloud Documents & Data created with Developer Preview 1 will be deleted from the servers at some point during the beta period. Your devices using Developer Preview 1 will maintain copies of those deleted iCloud Documents & Data. After the server deletes that data, all iCloud Documents & Data you previously used on OS X v10.9 and earlier or iOS 7 and earlier will be copied on the server over to the OS X v10.10/iOS 8 version of iCloud Documents & Data. Your devices using Developer Preview 1 will then re-upload their copies to the servers. If you delete those copies on your Mac before they are uploaded to the servers, and if you don't have a backup of them, those documents will be lost. Documents and data managed on earlier releases of OS X and iOS will not be affected by any of this.

Auto-Submission of Diagnostic and Usage Data
By default, OS X v10.10 Developer Preview builds automatically send anonymous diagnostic and usage data back to Apple. This includes information about crashes, freezes, kernel panics, and information about how you use Apple and third-party software, hardware, and services. This information is used to help Apple improve the quality and performance of its products and services. The preference is cleared in this seed. This will allow the collection of anonymous diagnostic and usage data to help deliver a high quality release for our customers. If necessary, this setting can be disabled in the Privacy tab in the Security & Privacy preferences pane.
