    Hello guys,

    Although the official minimum requirements do not include it, is it possible to install Sql Server 2016 in Windows 7 Professional 64bits?

    Most likely not, You need at least Windows 8 or higher.
    THe second - why just a 2016 if there is already newer available?

    By instinct .. if not strictly necessary, I have always preferred to use the penultimate version of a product. Is more shot and often works better
