Regarding to SQL Server 2025 Preview installation
If I install the SQL Server 2025 Preview, will it affect the current SQL Server version which was installed on my PC? (I am using the SQL Server 2022 at the moment.)

The current SQL Server 2025 setup tool (SQL2025-SSEI-Eval.exe) crashes, if I try to download the media files to my Win11 computer.
Also, if trying to install a custom version of SQL 2025, I end up having a SQL Server 2022 installed on my machine. Is this intended behavior?
No, every SQL Server installation is a separate one.
But I would suggest to install it on a test machine or on a VM.
