Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server. 11 minutes to read.
Contributors. In this article APPLIES TO: SQL Server (Windows only) Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Data Warehouse Parallel Data Warehouse The article lists the minimum hardware and software requirements to install and run SQL Server on the Windows operating system.
SQL Server 2017 (14.x) introduces support for SQL Server on Linux. For information, see. This article applies to SQL Server 2016 (13.x) and later. Try it out:. Download SQL Server from the. Spin up a Virtual Machine with already installed.
The following considerations apply to all editions:. We recommend that you run SQL Server on computers with the NTFS or ReFS file formats. Installing SQL Server on a computer with FAT32 file system is supported but not recommended as it is less secure than the NTFS or ReFS file systems. SQL Server Setup will block installations on read-only, mapped, or compressed drives. Installation fails if you launch setup through Remote Desktop Connection with the media on a local resource in the RDC client.
To install remotely the media must be on a network share or local to the physical or virtual machine. SQL Server installation media may be either on a network share, a mapped drive, a local drive, or presented as an ISO to a virtual machine. SQL Server Management Studio installation requires installing.NET 4.6.1 as a prerequisite.NET 4.6.1 will be automatically installed by setup when SQL Server Management Studio is selected.
SQL Server Setup installs the following software components required by the product:. SQL Server Native Client. SQL Server Setup support files. For minimum version requirements to install SQL Server on Windows Server 2012 or Windows 8, see.
Hardware and Software Requirements The following requirements apply to all installations: Component Requirement.NET Framework SQL Server 2016 (13.x) RC1 and later require.NET Framework 4.6 for the Database Engine, Master Data Services, or Replication. SQL Server 2016 (13.x) setup automatically installs.NET Framework.
You can also manually install.NET Framework from. SQL Server 2019 preview requires.NET Framework 4.6.2. Available from For more information, recommendations, and guidance about.NET Framework 4.6 see. Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2 require before installing.NET Framework 4.6.
Network Software Supported operating systems for SQL Server have built-in network software. Named and default instances of a stand-alone installation support the following network protocols: Shared memory, Named Pipes, TCP/IP and VIA. Note: VIA protocol is not supported on failover clusters. Clients or applications running on the same node of the failover cluster as the SQL Server instance, can use Shared Memory protocol to connect to SQL Server using its local pipe address. However this type of connection is not cluster-aware and will fail after an instance failover.
It is therefore not recommended and should only be used in very specific scenarios. Important: The VIA protocol is deprecated. This feature is in maintenance mode and may be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature. For more information about Network Protocols and Network Libraries, see. Hard Disk SQL Server requires a minimum of 6 GB of available hard-disk space. Disk space requirements will vary with the SQL Server components you install.
For more information, see later in this article. For information on supported storage types for data files, see. Drive A DVD drive, as appropriate, is required for installation from disc. Monitor SQL Server requires Super-VGA (800x600) or higher resolution monitor. Internet Internet functionality requires Internet access (fees may apply).
Important There are additional hardware and software requirements for the PolyBase feature. For more information, see.
Processor, Memory, and Operating System Requirements The following memory and processor requirements apply to all editions of SQL Server: Component Requirement Memory. Minimum: Express Editions: 512 MB All other editions: 1 GB Recommended: Express Editions: 1 GB All other editions: At least 4 GB and should be increased as database size increases to ensure optimal performance. Processor Speed Minimum: x64 Processor: 1.4 GHz Recommended: 2.0 GHz or faster Processor Type x64 Processor: AMD Opteron, AMD Athlon 64, Intel Xeon with Intel EM64T support, Intel Pentium IV with EM64T support. Note Installation of SQL Server is supported on x64 processors only. It is no longer supported on x86 processors. The minimum memory required for installing the Data Quality Server component in Data Quality Services (DQS) is 2 GB of RAM, which is different from the SQL Server minimum memory requirement. For information about installing DQS, see.
WOW64 Support: WOW64 (Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit) is a feature of 64-bit editions of Windows that enables 32-bit applications to run natively in 32-bit mode. Applications function in 32-bit mode, even though the underlying operating system is a 64-bit operating system. WOW64 is not supported for SQL Server installations. However, Management Tools are supported in WOW64.
Operating System Support: The SQL Server editions are classified into the following:. Note Exceptions to the operating system support noted in this section are the following Business Intelligence features for SQL Server 2016 (13.x) and earlier, which can be installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 or later:. Reporting Services - SharePoint. Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint products Server Core Support: SQL Server 2017 is now supported on a Server Core installation of Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, and Windows Server 2019. Installing SQL Server 2017 on Server Core mode is supported by the following editions of Windows Server: Windows Server 2019 Standard Windows Server 2019 Datacenter Windows Server 2016 Standard Windows Server 2016 Datacenter Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Windows Server 2012 Standard Windows Server 2012 Datacenter Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Standard Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Datacenter Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Web For more information on installing SQL Server 2017 on Server Core, see.
Features Supported on 32-bit Client Operating Systems Windows client operating systems, for example Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 are available as 32-bit or 64-bit architectures. All SQL Server features are supported on 64-bit client operating systems.
On supported 32-bit client operating systems Microsoft supports the following features:. Data Quality Client.

SQL Client Connectivity SDK Windows Server 2008 R2 and later server operating systems are not available as 32-bit architectures. All supported server operating systems are only available as 64-bit.
All features are supported on 64-bit server operating systems. Important SMB storage can be hosted by a Windows File Server or a third party SMB storage device. If Windows File Server is used, the Windows File Server version should be 2008 or later. For more information about installing SQL Server using SMB file share as a storage option, see. Installing SQL Server on a Domain Controller For security reasons, we recommend that you do not install SQL Server on a domain controller. SQL Server Setup will not block installation on a computer that is a domain controller, but the following limitations apply:.
You cannot run SQL Server services on a domain controller under a local service account. After SQL Server is installed on a computer, you cannot change the computer from a domain member to a domain controller. You must uninstall SQL Server before you change the host computer to a domain controller.
After SQL Server is installed on a computer, you cannot change the computer from a domain controller to a domain member. You must uninstall SQL Server before you change the host computer to a domain member. SQL Server failover cluster instances are not supported where cluster nodes are domain controllers.
SQL Server is not supported on a read-only domain controller. SQL Server Setup cannot create security groups or provision SQL Server service accounts on a read-only domain controller. In this scenario, Setup will fail. A SQL Server failover cluster instance is not supported in an environment where only a read-only domain controller is accessible. See Also Feedback.
