Database issue "The database was backed up on a server running version"

hello,

i am facing the following problem restoring a database: “The database was backed up on a server running version
15.00.2130. That version is incompatible with this server, which is running version 12.00.5000. Either restore the database on a server that supports the backup, or use a backup that is compatible with this server.
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.”

It means that the database was running on a more recent version of SQL server than the one currently installed.

Database was previously hosted on SQL Server 2019 - and - on your machine you have version 2014 installed.

Need to upgrade to 2019 or 2022.
