I need some advanced help, if you would be so kind. I inheirited a laptop from my son and it has SQL server loaded. 1. Do I need this to run the computer. 2. I don't host anything from here, should I just let it remain? I would like to recature the space on the hard drive if I don't need it. Help please. Thanks.

Trouble is you might have another application running on your computer that uses SQL Server. If you're confident you don't then yes you can remove it.

Scroll to the ones that start with "SQL Server", double-click and set the Startup Type to Disabled. Reboot the machine and run your normal apps. If one barks at you you're lucky you didn't uninstall it. -Tom. >"Alan" wrote: > >>I need some advanced help, if you would be so kind.
