    Hello,

    As a result of a number of similar cases we've had, we've performed various tests on a physical Windows Arm PC, and we had to conclude and there doesn't appear to be a way to successfully run SQL Server products (including SQL Server Express/Compact etc.) on a Windows Arm machine, physical or virtual.

    These results are consistent with the information that can be found on the Internet in regard to running Microsoft Server on Windows ARM.

    As a workaround, you can perform the steps from the article: https://kb.parallels.com/en/129699

    If sql server only works on Windows 10, I want to download it instead of Windows 11

    In Parallel, I can't download Windows 10, can you help me?

    Windows 10 is no longer supported on Arm computers. Also the version of Windows does not depend on it, sql server does not work on Arm architecture computers.

    We advise you to contact Microsoft support team to inquire about when the support for Windows ARM is going to be implemented.

    I'm in the same boat. I need to be running SQL Server in windows 11 for my Geophysical software which is windows based to run properly. If you find a solution to this in the future, please post clear instructions on how to do it here for future users with the same problem.

    Any problems in running it in docker? you can choose to run it in docker and still access it from any other VM or from the host itself
