I have a Windows 8.1 development system with
Visual Studio 2010 Premium installed.
I'm aware that this version of VS installed SQL Server 2008 and I want to upgrade the SQL install.
Previously, it had been suggested that I install SQL Server 2012 Express and I was thinking of installing SQLEXPR_x86, as this would support both 32-bit and 64-bit O/S.
However, I would like to know if the Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express would work with my copy of Visual Studio 2010 Premium.
If so, I could download the Express with Advanced Services (SQLEXPRADV) and utilize the LocalDB (SqlLocalDB); because I need to bundle a SQL database with my distributed C# applications.
Please tell me if the 2014 SQL Server Express would integrate with my 2010 Visual Studio, or if I should still download the 2012 version of SQL Server Express. Thank you.
