An error occurs when I try to open the SQL 2014 Express installer

Question

Translated by google translate

Hello, I write this question to receive an answer about an error that occurs when I try to open the installer (SETUP) of SQL 2014 Express, I get the following error:

This computer's Operating System or its service pack level does not meet the minimum requirements for SQL server 2014. To determine the minimum supported operating system for this version, see SQL server 2014 requirements.

And this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/install/hardware-and-software-requirements-for-installing-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver16&redirectedfrom= MSDN&viewFallbackFrom=sql-server-2014

I want to use SQL 2014 for educational purposes, ask some people who use SQL 2014 and they say it is compatible with my OS (Windows 10). So I am looking for some kind of help about my problem.

PS: The SETUP is your compatibility configured to start with Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)
Here is the page where I downloaded SQL 2014 Express: https://www.microsoft.com/es-ar/download/details.aspx?id=42299

Hi @Valentino Torresi ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

I want to use SQL 2014 for educational purposes, ask some people who use SQL 2014 and they say it is compatible with my OS (Windows 10).

You need install SQL Server SP3. Please see this picture:
