This video gives you a quick guide to installing SQL Server 2017 Developer Edition. This isn't intended as a comprehensive guide for administrators but shows you enough to get up and running with SQL Server quickly. You'll learn how to install a new instance of SQL Server 2017, how to start and stop the services after installation, how to install SQL Server Management Studio and how to install a sample database.

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