Hi everyone.
My server computer which was running SQL server express 2005, finally died (Imotherboard failure). It was running XP SP3.
Now I am planning to purchase a new computer to act as a server. Reading through the forum threads, it appears as if Windows 10 is not a good idea. Is windows 7 the best option, or should I attempt to run XP on top of new hardware? I am tempted to continue to use XP since it worked so flawlessly for all these years.
If Windows 7 is the way to go? And does it really matter if I am using Home Basic, Home Premium or Professional edition?
Should I use Sql Server Express 2008 R2 or will Sql Server Express 2005 work just fine on Windows 7?
FYI, I am running RMS Ver 2.0.0116
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
