I'm trying to install Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio with Azure Data Studio but the set up is being blocked.
The error I'm getting is that "Windows 8 is not supported. Please upgrade your operating system to continue"
It would be an easy fix but I am running windows 10 and its all up to date so I'm stuck.
Please Help!

Hello there,
The solution which worked for me:
Create a new folder in C:
Copy the file from downloads and save it in the new folder which you create.
And Try to Install !!! It will work
Thanks
Please verify your Windows 10 is version 1607 or later. Please verify also that your computer meets the requirements listed here.
Try to install SSMS alone with the following command using Command Prompt and from the location where SSMS was downloaded on your computer:
SSMS-Setup-ENU.exe /Passive DoNotInstallAzureDataStudio=1
You can later download and install Azure Data Studio from here.

This one did it. I'm amazed at the level of knowledge MVPs have. Thank you Alberto.
