- This wikiHow teaches you how to install the MySQL Server program on a Windows 10 computer. In order to install MySQL on a Windows computer, you must first have Python 2.7 (not. In order to install MySQL on a Windows computer, you must first have Python 2.7 (not Python 3+) installed.
MySQL is available for Microsoft Windows, for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. For supported Windows platform information, see https://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/database.html.
If your operating system is Windows 2008 R2 or Windows 7 and you do not have Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed, MySQL 5.7 will regularly restart and in the MySQL server error log file you will see this message:
This error message occurs because you are also using a CPU that does not support the VPSRLQ instruction and indicates that the CPU instruction that was attempted is not supported.
To fix this error, you must install SP1. This adds the required operating system support for the CPU capability detection and disables that support when the CPU does not have the required instructions.
These are instructions for installing on Windows 7 desktop (they may also be useful for a server install with some thought to security) using individual components rather than a one click installer. This is intended only as a testing/evaluation install via 'localhost'. Proper server configuration and security is not considered. Summary – Install MySQL on Windows 7 and Things to Do Next. The developers at MySQL have put up significant efforts in making the installer user-friendly. However, we also tried to optimize the steps to install MySQL on Windows 7. Hopefully, this tutorial is helpful and addressing the common issues one might face during the MySQL installation.
Alternatively, install an older version of MySQL, such as 5.6.
There are different methods to install MySQL on Microsoft Windows.

MySQL Installer Method
The simplest and recommended method is to download MySQL Installer (for Windows) and let it install and configure all of the MySQL products on your system. Here is how:
- Download MySQL Installer from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/ and execute it.Unlike the standard MySQL Installer, the smaller 'web-community' version does not bundle any MySQL applications but it will download the MySQL products you choose to install.
- Choose the appropriate Setup Type for your system. Typically you will choose Developer Default to install MySQL server and other MySQL tools related to MySQL development, helpful tools like MySQL Workbench. Or, choose the Custom setup type to manually select your desired MySQL products.Multiple versions of MySQL server can exist on a single system. You can choose one or multiple versions.
- Complete the installation process by following the instructions. This will install several MySQL products and start the MySQL server.
MySQL is now installed. If you configured MySQL as a service, then Windows will automatically start MySQL server every time you restart your system.
You probably also installed other helpful MySQL products like MySQL Workbench and MySQL Notifier on your system. Consider loading Chapter 30, MySQL Workbench to check your new MySQL server connection, and MySQL Notifier Overview to view the connection's status. By default, these two programs automatically start after installing MySQL.
This process also installs the MySQL Installer application on your system, and later you can use MySQL Installer to upgrade or reconfigure your MySQL products.
Additional Installation Information
It is possible to run MySQL as a standard application or as a Windows service. By using a service, you can monitor and control the operation of the server through the standard Windows service management tools. For more information, see Section 2.3.4.8, “Starting MySQL as a Windows Service”.

Generally, you should install MySQL on Windows using an account that has administrator rights. Otherwise, you may encounter problems with certain operations such as editing the
PATH
environment variable or accessing the Service Control Manager. When installed, MySQL does not need to be executed using a user with Administrator privileges. For a list of limitations on the use of MySQL on the Windows platform, see Section 2.3.7, “Windows Platform Restrictions”.
In addition to the MySQL Server package, you may need or want additional components to use MySQL with your application or development environment. These include, but are not limited to:
- To connect to the MySQL server using ODBC, you must have a Connector/ODBC driver. For more information, including installation and configuration instructions, see MySQL Connector/ODBC Developer Guide.MySQL Installer will install and configure Connector/ODBC for you.
- To use MySQL server with .NET applications, you must have the Connector/NET driver. For more information, including installation and configuration instructions, see MySQL Connector/NET Developer Guide.MySQL Installer will install and configure MySQL Connector/NET for you.
MySQL distributions for Windows can be downloaded from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/. See Section 2.1.2, “How to Get MySQL”.
MySQL for Windows is available in several distribution formats, detailed here. Generally speaking, you should use MySQL Installer. It contains more features and MySQL products than the older MSI, is simpler to use than the compressed file, and you need no additional tools to get MySQL up and running. MySQL Installer automatically installs MySQL Server and additional MySQL products, creates an options file, starts the server, and enables you to create default user accounts. For more information on choosing a package, see Section 2.3.2, “Choosing an Installation Package”.
- A MySQL Installer distribution includes MySQL Server and additional MySQL products including MySQL Workbench, MySQL Notifier, and MySQL for Excel. MySQL Installer can also be used to upgrade these products in the future.For instructions on installing MySQL using MySQL Installer, see Section 2.3.3, “MySQL Installer for Windows”.
- The standard binary distribution (packaged as a compressed file) contains all of the necessary files that you unpack into your chosen location. This package contains all of the files in the full Windows MSI Installer package, but does not include an installation program.For instructions on installing MySQL using the compressed file, see Section 2.3.4, “Installing MySQL on Microsoft Windows Using a
noinstall
ZIP Archive”. - The source distribution format contains all the code and support files for building the executables using the Visual Studio compiler system.For instructions on building MySQL from source on Windows, see Section 2.9, “Installing MySQL from Source”.

MySQL on Windows Considerations
- Large Table SupportIf you need tables with a size larger than 4 GB, install MySQL on an NTFS or newer file system. Do not forget to use
MAX_ROWS
andAVG_ROW_LENGTH
when you create tables. See Section 13.1.18, “CREATE TABLE Syntax”.InnoDB tablespace files cannot exceed 4 GB on Windows 32-bit systems. - MySQL and Virus Checking SoftwareVirus-scanning software such as Norton/Symantec Anti-Virus on directories containing MySQL data and temporary tables can cause issues, both in terms of the performance of MySQL and the virus-scanning software misidentifying the contents of the files as containing spam. This is due to the fingerprinting mechanism used by the virus-scanning software, and the way in which MySQL rapidly updates different files, which may be identified as a potential security risk.After installing MySQL Server, it is recommended that you disable virus scanning on the main directory (
datadir
) used to store your MySQL table data. There is usually a system built into the virus-scanning software to enable specific directories to be ignored.In addition, by default, MySQL creates temporary files in the standard Windows temporary directory. To prevent the temporary files also being scanned, configure a separate temporary directory for MySQL temporary files and add this directory to the virus scanning exclusion list. To do this, add a configuration option for thetmpdir
parameter to yourmy.ini
configuration file. For more information, see Section 2.3.4.2, “Creating an Option File”. - Running MySQL on a 4K Sector Hard DriveRunning the MySQL server on a 4K sector hard drive on Windows is not supported with
innodb_flush_method=async_unbuffered
, which is the default setting. The workaround is to useinnodb_flush_method=normal
.

I am struggling to install MySQL 5.7 on Windows 10 after a clean removal of MySQL 8.0. The installer defaults to the version 8.0.12, with no way for me to change it.
When I run the installer (which has the version number 5.7.23.0), I am prompted to the following screen:
... despite the fact that this installer is (supposedly) for specifically the version 5.7.
I am unfamiliar with the manual installation process, so I was wondering if someone could help me install MySQL 5.7 on my PC (preferably all the other MySQL products such as the Connector and the Workbench as well). I've been trying to follow the instructions on the official documentation, but I stopped because I had no idea what I was doing.

I removed my MySQL 8.0.11 installationThen I removed all the MySQL folders in the program and data foldersI disabled the gatewayThen started the installer for version 5.7.24 and that was oke.First download all requirements and install them firstThen the installation was done. At the Installation screen, the status was ready to download, but I ignored it first and then I enabled the gateway again and the installation was fine.
At the installation screen it was clearly that version 5.7 would be installed. It only installed some 8.0 products (like the Shell, Router, connectors etc).
After checking, i've got Workbench 8 but MySQL 5.7.24
