Take a look at this sql-server-tutorial[^]

As Richard pointed out SQL Server is usually not installed on a Client PC, but it is possible nevertheless to have a standalone combined Client / Server installation.
I would not recommend SQL Server for beginners as it is quite complicated, if your needs are simple see: best-databases-for-a-small-net-application[^]

SQL Server needs to be installed on a server on the client's network, and the .bak file restored to it.

Your application then connects to that instance of SQL Server, so that all users see the same data.

Depends on how the SQL Server instance is set up, and how you want to connect:
