What did he say - that this driver is going to be supported? By TLS 1.2?

This page doesn't mention this driver at all - most likely because it's not supported

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3135244/tls-1-2-support-for-microsoft-sql-server

I'm going to ask this question directly on MSDN forum to make sure.

No, I didn't try it. Why should I?
