Does anyone know if SQL Server 2012 Client Tools (SP1) can be installed on Windows 10? &nbsp;If not are there workarounds (compatibility mode, etc)?<br />
<br />
I'm not getting any information one way or another from Microsoft. &nbsp;I would imagine the answer is &quot;no&quot;, but we have a business need for the two to work together before a migration plan is set up.<br />

Thanks,<br />
