I'm working in a company and using previous employee's laptop, and when I try to open SQL Server Management Studio, it already has server that running but I can log in using Windows authentication.
I think it's because every employee has an ID that will be used as user for log in on the laptop, and now I can't log in into SQL Server Management Studio because I have a different user for Windows authentication.
If it's true then how can I log in into SQL Server Management Studio?
Thanks.
Without knowing how your SQL Server is setup you can log in using the following methods and setup your windows account:
Log in using SQL Server authentication such as the 'SA' account and setup your windows authentication.
If known, logon to the machine with the previous employee's account, login to the SSMS and setup your windows authentication, logout of windows and log back in with your account.
Request someone who has access (with relevant permissions) to set you up with access using windows authentication.

Problem statement
I have installed SQL Server, but when I try to run: net start MSSQLSERVER on the command line, I get this error:
The service name is invalid. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2185

Also, I tried using sc sdshow MSSQLSERVER in both CMD and PowerShell (run and not run as Admin) but it fails because of this:
[SC] OpenService FAILED 1060: The specified service does not exist as an installed service
I know that I didn't rename the server to something else because I was never presented with the option to do so.
(Reposting my comment as an answer):
It sounds like your installation failed - or you didn’t select the database engine when you installed it. Re-run the installer.
You can review the installer setup logs to see if and why it failed: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/install-windows/view-and-read-sql-server-setup-log-files?view=sql-server-ver15
Look at %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\nnn\Setup Bootstrap\Log\Summary.txt.

I have MS SQL Server Management Studio installed on the server. It's 6.2.9200 version.
There is a new version of MS SQL Server Management Studio 6.3.9600.
How should I update the MS SQL Server Management Studio from 6.2.9200 to 6.3.9600? Shall simply install the .MSI and the studio updates to the latest version or should I take some kind of back-up for the 6.2.9200 before installing 6.3.9600?
As mentioned in the comments, SSMS is just a client tool that connects to the SQL server. SQL server Retains all the information including SA login and password.
You can remove, re-install the client tool without affecting any SQL Server or Database settings.
Note that You will need to re-enter the login and password (in your case SA login and Password) to connect to the database in your new SSMS client tool.

I am start getting the following error today. Is this because of Azure services are down?
PDOException: SQLSTATE[IMSSP]: This extension requires either the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Native Client (SP1 or later) or the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Native Client ODBC Driver to communicate with SQL Server. Neither of those ODBC Drivers are currently installed. Access the following URL to download the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Native Client ODBC driver for x86:
No. That error indicates that you have a connection configuration/version issue. The error occurs before the call out to the service.

I am working on my notebook(4GB ram) with SQL Server 2012 and since I installed with the default settings, It uses too much memory. When I check the processes sqlservr.exe is around 230MB and reportinservicesService.exe around 75 MB, msmdsrv.exe (analysis Services) 35MB etc.
So my question to those sql experts; If I am just doing simple DB new built, what would you suggest me in order to save some memory? I would like to suspend and run some services on demand only. for example, Can I stop reportingservicesservice.exe. I guess it is only when I need report from sql or is it also for tsql?
thanks for your suggestings.
The bare minimum you need to run SQL Server is just sqlservr.exe, i.e. "SQL Server" or "SQL Server (EXPRESS)" in the Services control panel applet. Nothing else is essential.
You don't need any of the below to be running
Freetext (filter) daemon
Reporting services
Analysis services
Integration services
SQL Server Agent
SQL VSS writer
You can go back and enable them when you get to the point where you are working with those features.

My new development pc is arriving tomorrow and I am assembling the software suite I will be installing on it.
Sadly SQL server is still a requirement, and I am installing the Sql 2012 Standard, as the Developer Version is a special version of the Sql Server Enterprise, which can be uncompatible in some cases.
So the question is:
How do I install SQL Server on a development pc in a whay that leaves minimal footprint on the computer, while still giving a fully usable environment for development?
The very minimum is to select Database Engine only during setup. If you use a the command line, select only SQLEngine feature. If you use the GUI setup, select only the Database Engine from the feature selection page. By installing Database Engine feature only you get the sqlservr.exe service,sqlcmd and bcp tools, network and service configuration applets... and not much else.
If you need other features, like SQL Server Management Studio, make sure you select those as well. Ditto for Replication, Fulltext, tools (eg. Profiler) etc etc.
