SQL Server not supported Windows 11 Home Version
I bought a new computer that came with Windows 11 Home. I am unable to install SQL Server 22 on W11. I would like to install Windows 10 that does support SQL server but I will void my support warranty doing so. I suspect I can upgrade to Windows 11 Pro but I am not sure that OS supports SQL Server.
Any thoughts or advice would be helpful.

I have that same configuration and SQLServer, developer edition, runs just fine. What happens when you attempt an install? We need more details to proceed.

If you're intent on installing SQL Server on a client OS such as Win11 Home (or pro for that matter), I'm going to assume you're outfitting a development machine.
SQL Server 2022 developer is supported on Win11 Home. As is Express and standard edition if you're running production workloads on your client.
