How to enable query store in SSMS (Sql Server Management Studio) 2017?

Question

I have installed SSMS2017, i don't see Query Store page under db level properties.

I also tried through command line query:

alter database <db_name> SET QUERY_STORE = ON;

this doesn't seem to be working either.

Could someone please help on how can i enable query store ?

Thanks.

Upgrading SSMS alone won't work, you need both SQL Server 2016+ as well as latest SSMS to support viewing Query Store Options.
