On my work laptop, I am running Windows 7 Enterprise (SP1). Several months ago, I installed SQL Server 2016 CTP 2.1, and it was installed successfully. As it happens, I do not need 2016 and I believe it being installed is causing some undesired consequences, so I am attempting to uninstall it. However, as the OS requirements have changed to require Windows 8 or higher to install, I am unable to uninstall.
So how can I run an uninstall when it thinks my OS is not high enough, despite the program already being installed?
