The Requirements for SQL Server 2016 list the following operating systems as being supported:

  • Windows Server 2016 Datacenter
  • Windows Server 2016 Standard

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 Foundation

  • Windows Server 2012 Datacenter

  • Windows Server 2012 Standard

  • Windows Server 2012 Essentials

  • Windows Server 2012 Foundation

  • Windows 10 Home

  • Windows 10 Professional

  • Windows 10 Enterprise

  • Windows 8.1

  • Windows 8.1 Pro

  • Windows 8.1 Enterprise

  • Windows 8

  • Windows 8 Pro

  • Windows 8 Enterprise

Windows Server 2016 Essentials appears to be missing from this list. Is this an ommision on Microsofts part - 2012 Essentials is supported...

What specifically in Server 2016 Essentials would cause issues running SQL Server 2016?
