+2.	From File Download, click Save. Once it is saved, open the folder.
+3.	Extract the AdventureWorks2014.bak file to a location on your local server. Note: The default 64-bit path is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup. Use C:\Program Files (x86)\... for 32-bit SQL Server 2014.

+
+RESTORE DATABASE AdventureWorks2014
+FROM disk= 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\AdventureWorks2014.bak'
+WITH
