Sharepoint 2010 installation preliminaries - sharepoint-2010

First of all sorry if this is a repost or is found to be duplicate.
I'm about to install sharepoint 2010 in my laptop for development. I'm using a laptop with win 7 64-bit with 8GB RAM, with vs 2010 installed.
I'm having SP2010 with SP1 standard license.
Have went to lot of pre-requisite advisory pages but haven't got a satisfactory/complete answer and hence decided to pen down my doubts here.
Below are my queries
Can i start by auto-running the CD (sorry if it sounds a lot stupid. kindly take note that i'm at beginning stage of SP2010 with VS programming background).
Can i connect to sql server 2005 (32-bit) from sp2010 after installation for programming. Is it possible technically.
Should i need to install sql 2005/2008 (64-bit) before installing SP2010 or can i install it after completing installation of SP2010.
PLEASE provide pointers if any so that i can have a hiccup free, successful installation of sp2010.
Edit:
Have downloaded a bunch of files from the below url
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27417
Can anyone advise which virtual machine i should use to run the vhd image for sp2010
Thanks :)

Installing on Windows 7 is not recommended and tends to run into some incompatibilities. Can you use a virtual machine? Here is a link which is useful for Win 7 installation.
Answering your questions:
You can install from the DVD or a mounted Image.
You can use SQL 2005 but only 64Bit.
You should install SQL server before installing SharePoint so it will be more automated

Can't install SQL Server 2005 on Win10 x64

I'm trying to install SQL Server 2005 on my Win10 x64.
The problem is I can't even select the Database Services and Reporting services I need cause checkbox is disabled.
I had a bit research on this issue but everyone else seems to have problems after the installation began, whereas, I can't even start the progress.
I tried Run program made for previous versions of windows and extract then install sqlncli.msi from SP4 according to this.
Neither of them enable the checkboxes and I'm running out of ideas.
Should I install sp4 without install SQL Server first? Any suggestion would be appreciated.
I had the Visual Studio subscriptions and turns out you can still download the original version of SQL Server 2005 by downloads search(autocomplete won't show it but the search result will).
And the checkboxes are enabled in this version.
If you face problem during the installation, this works for me.

Install Microsoft SQL Server 2012 express edition

I tried to install MS SQL server, yesterday on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OS machine, following the instructions provided in a PDF by a company that has done it before.
Everything seemed to say it installed ok. However it didn't seem to install SQL Server Management Studio which is used for a lot of the exercises I am required to do and quite useful in general.
Has this happened to anybody else. Has anyone got any advice for what I can do to fix this.
I did notice that my machine seems to have MS SQL Server 2008 for some reason, I think it must have already been there and is conflicting, perhaps I should uninstall it. What do you think?
I hope you's can help.
Thanks

Sharpie
I'm guessing you downloaded and installed only the db, and not the one with "Tools". The Tools is the one that includes SSMS. No worries you can go here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062 and download the Tools separately and install it. Expanded the "Details" of the page and this will let you know about the different files you can download.

Can we install SharePoint 2010 on Windows server 2012

One straight question.
Can we install SharePoint 2010 on Windows Server 2012??
If we can install, Can someone please provide with some links to proper documentation on how to install it?
Not yet. Service Pack 2 will allow support, but since there is not installation media for it yet, you cannot go directly to Service Pack 2. Once the Slip Stream Package for SP2 is release (or a full installation media), Server 2012 will be supported. I would watch this page for updates on that: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2724471/en-us

Trouble installing SQL Server 2012 Express with Advanced Services

Whenever I try to install SQL Server 2012 Express with Advanced Services I am getting this error:
I have tried both version (32-bit/64-bit) and re-downloaded multiple times.
How can I solve it ?
Check if you have .Net framework 4 installed at your machine. If not - download it and install it and then try again with SQL Server.
Also check this bug at Microsoft site about .Net framework 4 (there is workaround explained in the bug).
FWIW, I just downloaded and installed SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe from HERE on a vanilla Win7Pro/64 VirtualBox virtual machine and encountered no errors.
Edit
I also installed SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe from that same location on an older Vista machine. The SQL Server installer told me that it needed some new .NET components, then it proceeded to download and install them. I didn't need to manually install anything ahead of time.
Also perhaps worth noting:
Both of the machines on which my installs were successful had no anti-virus software installed. (They are development boxes behind a firewall and I don't do email or web surfing on them.)

Error while installing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on Windows 7

I was trying to install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on my Windows 7 pc. When I tried to install it, it tells me that I have a newer version installed on my pc. So, I checked that Microsoft Sharepoint 2010 installed some sql server 2008 tools for me.
I decided to uninstall SharePoint 2010(which I wasn't using) and then tried to install MS SQL Server 2005 again. This threw me the following exception:
Error 1603 installing microsoft sql server setup support files
Searching on Google I found this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916760 but it's not my case actually.
Any help will be appreciated. I really need this to continue working.
I hope this might be useful

Turn on all the Windows Features for IIS - this fixed the problem for me.
This is done via Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off.
