We currently have SQL Server 2008 R2 Express (with SP2) running on a Windows 7 (SP1) PC. The database is for a SQL software application used in our industry and runs on this PC with it, all contained.
As 2008 R2 is no longer under mainstream support, we're being advised by our vendor to upgrade, preferably to SQL Server 2014, which I'm making preparations to do. I see Windows 7 SP1 listed under system requirements for the RTM & SP1 versions, however when I look to download the latest SQL Server 2014 Express "with SP2", Windows 7 is no longer listed. If I'm to upgrade on our existing system, do I need to pass on the latest SP2 and install SP1 instead?
Please advise. Thanks.
