    Hi @Vishal Sanap ，

    187348-1.png

    It is recommended to try to download the latest version of SQL 2019, SQL Server 2016 and older versions are not supported on Windows 11.

    If SQL Server 2019 does not work when installed on Windows 11, here is a thread you can see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/541099/sql-server-2019-windows-11.html?page=2&pageSize=10&sort=oldest

    I have followed 10 different ways to try to install sql server 2019 express on Windows 11. Then I see that supposably Sql Server 2019 express is not compatible with Windows 11.
    Is there really anyway sql server 2019 express can be installed on Windows 11?
