TLS 1.0 error getting the following error when trying to connect to a SQL Server

getting the following error when trying to connect to a sequel Server Does this mean its using TLS 1.2 or 1.3? for security?

Server by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. Error: "The server selected protocol version TLS10 is not accepted by client preferences [TLS13, TLS12]". ClientConnectionId:939ad548-634f-441f-937a-31bdb83192c8)

This means your SQL Server version is ancient and does not support TLS 1.2 or 1.3, meanwhile support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 has been disabled by default for a few years now.

Similar to what's going on in this thread: Unable to connect to SQL Server 2000 - #9 by PGriffith

Ok Thanks For the quick reply.

See if my notes on a solution for SQL Express 2005 are relevant.

You can either upgrade the TLS, or edit an specific file in the gateway to allow TLS 1.
