I could see that my windows 7 is (Version 6.1, build 7601, SP1)
But I am facing issues with installing SQL Server 2017, due to
outdated OS.
Thanks in advance
SQL Server 2017 requires at least Windows 8, so you can't install it on Windows 7 at all. Windows 7 is out of mainstream support for almost 4 years already, and Windows 8 is out of mainstream support for about an year. If your are asking for a desktop Windows version, you should be on Windows 10 to use it.

I have Windows 7 running on my machine (I know it's old) and when I try to install SQL Server 2017 using the setup utility, I get this error:
The operating system on this computer does not meet the min requirements for SQL Server 2017. To determine the min required OS supported for this SQL server release, see the hardware and software requirements.
This is the link provided: Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server
I don't see anything there that stands out that my machine does not have. I know people have installed SQL Server 2017 on Windows 7 boxes, so that can't be the issue.
I tried changing the compatibility mode by right clicking the setup file and properties too, to Windows 7 but I still can't get passed that error message.
I think at the link you provided Windows 7 is actually not in the list of OS supported? Here it's also mentioned SQl Server 2017 can only be installed on Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 and later versions.
I am currently learning to program with Java.
Now I am learning how to use Oracle database with oracle 11g XE.
So far, I have installed latest windows 10, tomcat 8.5, eclipse neon, jdk1.8.
I have installed windows 10 on my macbook pro using bootcamp assistance.
This is the code I tried on SQL commandLine
wasn't very successful so i tried this next
I have other solutions on the internet but none of them worked.
So i was wandering if windows 10 installed in mac hardware using bootcamp causes problem with oracle database.
I have an install that is made in Advanced Installer that works fine in Windows 8 & 10, but fails on Windows 7. Does a Windows 7-client have any requirements for connecting to a SQL Server (2012, on a different machine), that a Windows 8 or 10 machine does not have? Some drivers that does not exist on a clean Windows 7? The application in a Entity Framework-app and uses Framework 4.6.1 if that matters...
[Edit] Based on all the comments below I refrase my question to this: For a Clean, fully updated, Windows 7 to connect to a remote SQL Server (2008+), is there any other requirements/drivers that is needed to be installed other than .Net framework 4.6.1? For Windows 8 & 10 apparently there are no such requirements...
The problem was partly the firewall, partly my network and partly my code. There are no special drivers etc needed to make a EF-application work in Windows 7. Once network, firewall etc was configured correctly, my application worked.
A bit new to the world of Windows device drivers. Using Visual Studio 2013 I create a new KMDF driver project. The configuration manager has build configs for Windows 7, 8, 8.1, but none for the server OSes (WS 2008, 2012).
Question: Which of these build targets, if any, are suitable for installation on Windows Server 2008/2012 since there are no specific build configs for them?
Thanks
This question was answered for me by Don Burn on MSDN, but I wanted to post the answer here for SO users:
Windows Server 2008 R2 == Windows 7
Windows Server 2012 == Windows 8
Windows Server 2012 R2 = Windows 8.1
As a rule you build for the earliest version of Windows you wish to support, and the driver will run on all versions after that. There are special cases where there are new capabilities that you may want to take advantage of in the newer system, but that is the general approach.

I have changed my operating system from windows XP to windows 7. I installed firebird 1.5.3.4870 and driver firebird odbc 1.2.0.69 on windows 7. But when I go to ODBC Data Source Administrator -> drivers I cannot see firebird driver. When I install new version of firebird driver I see it on data source administrator but I can't open old databases. Is it possible to open firebird databases created on win xp in windows 7.
Thanks and best regards
If you migrated from Windows XP 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit you will have to backup (on Windows XP!) and restore the database (on Windows 7), as the database structure of Firebird database before 2.1 (I think, could be 2.0) are not transportable between 32 bit and 64 bit architectures without backup/restore.
Also be aware that Firebird 1.5 is not compatible with Windows 7 (it was never tested under Windows Vista and Windows 7), so you might want to upgrade to Firebird 2.5.1 as well (although you might want to test that first).
