I am a developer and using SQL Server as a backend. I recently installed Windows 8.1 OS from Windows 7.
I was able to successfully installed the Visual Studio 2013. But when I am trying to install SQL server 2014 its giving me an error stating "This SQL Server Setup media is not supported on a X86 system . To continue , run the SQL Server Setup media that matches your system ".
And to a Surprise I am having X64 processor laptop..
Please help me to install SQL server...

Looks like you have a 32bit version of Windows 8.1.

Suggest obtaining a 64bit Windows rather than a 32bit SQL 2014

If you are planning to install it on your laptop or personal machine and exclusively used for development you can think of HYPER-V too it help to rebuild the environment very quickly as and when require. And no need to disturb your PC OS.
