I had SQL Server 2005 working when I upgraded to Windows 10. Now it won't work. I read that it is not compatible with Windows 8, according to Microsoft. Windows 10 is but the matured version of Windows 8, to me. Is there any way I can get SQL Server 2005 to work with Windows 10?
Have you tried to apply / re-apply SP4? I'm not saying it will work but it works in Windows 8. Not sure what you upgraded from.
