Although, i have a nagging feeling that M1 is not a supported platform for SQL Server.

In any case, without seeing the log files, we cannot add much more.

Please refer to this document: SQL Server 2022: Hardware and software requirements
The M1 is an ARM processor. Maybe you can install a SQL Server in a virtual machine.
Best regards,
Seeya

Emmet Gray 1 Reputation point2023-08-28T15:35:02.6+00:00 Actually, using UTM will work... but you have to select the x86-64 architecture and install the real version of Windows 11 (not the ARM version).
After that, you can install SQL Server and the SQL Server Management Studio with no problem at all.
