Which part of the error message do you not understand?

1 solution

The error is quite clear. You cannot restore a database that was backed up with a newer version of SQL Server onto a server running an older version.

You will either need to upgrade your instance of SQL Server or find another instance that has already been upgraded to v15.00.2000 (or above)

You think you are running SQL Server V15 but you actually have V14.00.2047 on your server. Do not confuse the version of SQL Server Management Studio with the version of SQL Server
