System Requirements for SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
Below are the system requirements for running SSMS:
- Windows 10 (64-bit) or later Windows Server 2012 (64-bit) or later.
- Minimum: 1.8 GHz processor or faster.
- Minimum: 2 GB RAM Minimum: 2 GB of free hard drive space.
- SSMS requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher. Setup automatically checks for and installs the required version of the .NET Framework if it is not already on your system.
- An Internet connection may be required to download updates, access online resources, and connect to remote instances of SQL Server. SSMS may have dependencies on other Microsoft components and redistributable packages. Setup usually installs these dependencies automatically.
We should understand that depending on the SSMS version that we have and its add-ons and components, system requirements may be different. For the correct installation process, we strongly advise referring to Microsoft’s official documentation where we can find actual data on system requirements and compatibility of our software.
