    Hi all,

    I'm totally new to SQL Server. Forgive if my question look a stupid one but I've gone throught the Microsoft website searching for the answer but just can't locate it.

    Can I install SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition on a Windows 7 machine? I just can't can't seem to find the system requirements for the Enterprise Edition!

    Thanks for your help!

    Yes, but I would install the Developer edition, unless you have too much money to spare 🙂

    Developer Edition includes the same features as Enterprise Edition, but is limited by the license to be only used as a development and test system, and not as production server.

    But as someone else pointed out, installing the developers edition which has all of the features of the Enterprise edition cost around $50. The enterprise edition could end up costing you $40K depending on how many cores you have
