Small busineess environment, Express edition of MSSQL, low budget available.
I'm thinking about splitting the SQL server from the current machine, as it does file sharing too and the application used needs both files and to access a DB, and with the current setup it's a bit laggy.
Since MSSQL is supported on desktop OSes, what would be the disadvantage in running it on a Win8.1 machine as opposed to Server 2012 R2?
