You need Win 7 Pro.
Or contact CheshireD5 on this forum, who will sell you a working system and give great advice.

Another vote for Cheshired5
I bought my Vida Dice from him. His service is great and after sales support worthy of an IT company.

I went through some trouble a few weeks ago. You must have Windows 7 Pro. I ended up putting an old SSD disk into a laptop and rebuilt the laptop to ensure that there was nothing else on the PC. Still took sometime and I had a corrupt database, one of the larger 3GB database would fail to mount into SQL. I’m not going to write it up because others have made a much better job of it, but I would suggest starting with a clean Windows 7 Pro install if you can.

Others have made it work using the compatibility mode in Windows and also using a VM

it’s a bit of a faff to set up though if you’ve not done it before. For quickness see if Cheshire has a fully set up system for sale.

Yes, I went down that route. Cheshired5 was super helpful and got me up and running in no time. Well worth it if you can afford it.
