Download and apply SQL Server 2016 SP1

Getting the SQL Server 2016 SP1:

 I wanted to construct the Wide World Imports database on SQL Server 2016 and found that SP1 is a requirement. Hence, I needed to first apply SP1 to the existing instance.

Go to this link, select the language and click Download

The file name is ENU\SQLServer2016SP1-KB3182545-x64-ENU.exe (551.8 MB).
This SP1 contains SQL Server 2016 RTM Cumulative update 3(CU3).

        6 GB of available hard disk space for the Service Pack update, 10 GB for a Slipstream installation
        Service Pack 1 can be applied to any of the following Microsoft SQL Server 2016 editions:

            Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Enterprise
            Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Developer
            Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard
            Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Web
            Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Express

Run (as Administrator) the downloaded file. In the beginning I had some problem and ran the compatibility program. Here are some of the screen shots. It took quite a while with the R Service related step and the final updating step, otherwise it was without any trouble.
