from the below list, anyone:

or any equivalent SQL Server compatible with Windows 7 Home Premium SP-1, 64-bit

hi,

I guess if you are ok with Express edition then go for SQL Server 2008 R2 Express x64 (64-bit)

You can only install SQL Server on Windows Server, the developer version can run on Ultimate edition etc... I had to do it for a student project...
