Posted by Andrew Gould on 31 October 2016


SQL Server 2016 Developer Edition is free as part of Microsoft's Visual Studio Dev Essentials program. This video shows you how to obtain your free copy and install it in a Windows 10 environment. You won't learn how to become a SQL Server Administrator here but you will see the basics of getting up and running with SQL Server 2016.

See our full range of SQL training resources, or test your knowledge of SQL with one of our SQL skills assessment tests.

You can increase the size of your video to make it fill the screen like this:

When you've finished viewing a video in full screen mode, just press the Esc key to return to normal view.

Improving the quality of a video

To improve the quality of a video, first click on the Settings icon:

Choose to change the video quality:

Click on Quality as shown to bring up the submenu.

 

The higher the number you choose, the better will be your video quality (but the slower the connection speed):

Don't choose the HD option unless you have a fast enough connection speed to support it!

 

Is your Wise Owl speaking too slowly (or too quickly)?  You can also use the Settings menu above to change your playback speed.
