Windows 11: I have an old application designed with SQL 2014. Can I use newer versions of SQL?
Hello all,
I have a custom designed application which is originally set up with SQL 2014.
I recently bought a new computer which is set up with Windows 11.
I see now that SQL 2014 is not supported by Windows 11.
My questions:
1) Should it matter which version of SQL DB I use? Put another way, should I be able to set up my old application using for example SQL 2017 or later?
The only thing I know is that I will need to run an SQL script to set up the database, so I guess the question is if that script generated in 2014 will be compatible with newer versions.
2) If no to the prior question - can I still install SQL 2014 on Windows 11?
Thanks so much in advance. 🙂

Update:
I was able to install SQL 2014 on Windows 11 just fine and my application + DB seems to be working correctly. So, I'm assuming this works as it should.
Would still be interested in your comments if anyone have anything to share on the subject.
