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 am facing the same issue. If someone got a solution for this please help. I tried installing sql server on 2 laptops of same model from HP omnibook 5. Installation succeeded in one laptop but failed in the newer one I bought 2 days ago. Tried a few things but nothing worked out.
The Omnibook 5 can be delivered with a Snapdragon CPU (ARM architecture).
If you've got the Snapdragon CPU, your computer can not run SQL Server.If your model uses x64 architecture (Intel or AMD), you should be able to install SQL Server without any particular issue.
I have experienced that installing Sql Server Management Studio (SSMS) before installing SQL Server has led to installation failures.
If you've installed SSMS, please uninstall it and all SQL features before attempting to install SQL Server again.
You can uninstall these features from the "installed applications" page of the settings application.
Open Settings, go to Apps on the left hand menu, then installed apps. Search for SQL and uninstall everything.
I am also facing issue when I tried to install sql server 2019 or 2022 in my windows 11 PC.Please gide me. Below is the message I am getting

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.
