Which version of SQL Server and SSMS can be installed on which Windows version?

Posted on by

As my Windows installation ages, it collects various versions of development tools, such as SQL Server, SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), or Visual Studio.

But for every version of Windows the question is: will the next version of product X be installable on Windows Y?

So here is the answer for SQL Server and SSMS on Windows versions 7 (32-bit), 8.1 (64-bit) and 10 (64-bit)

SQL/SSMS Version Win7-32 Win8.1-64 Win10-64
2008 10 Y ? ?
2012 11 Y Y Y
2014 12 Y Y Y
SSMS 2016 13 Y Y Y
SQL 2016 13 – Y Y
SSMS 17 17 – Y Y
SQL 2017 14 – Y Y
SSMS 18 18 – Y Y
SQL 2019 15 – – Y
