Hi. I got a memo from our asset group today asking if I could give up my 2008 and 2012 developer versions of sql because of projected compatibility issues with windows 10 ( icurrently have windows 7 enterprise on my local). I didn't even know how to answer them but did report I'm currently using the 2012 product to 1) prototype something new locally, 2) use ssms for various development and analysis efforts across a variety of sql environments.
I guess my questions are 1) is 2012 developer really incompatible with windows 10? in what respect? 2) if we run 2012 enterprise currently in production what alternatives might I consider for the best enterprise experience on my local? 3) we may be migrating tro sql 2016 in the next 6 mos. Does this trigger any ideas in the community and wouldn't 2016's developer product also be incompatible with windows 10?
