Fresh install of SQL Server 2012 Express Advanced edition. I downloaded AdventureWorks2012 database but couldn't attach. After couple of hours I attached it when I connected to Management Studio via Windows Authorization, also I found that I can do that with SQL Server Authorization and my 'sa' user but i need to copy AdventureWorks2012 mdf file to my MSSQL Server installed location C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA . Someone suggested on internet to try to open Management Studio as Administrator but that didn't do anything for me.

I understand its about privileges on files and database, I just want to know how to fix it and make it accessible. I didn't found precise advice on this matter.

Sorry if its not on right forum.

Sorry about English, it's not my native language.
