[AccessD] Examples In Best Coding VB.net

According to MS that is correct.

I went to the download site for SSE 2016 and Windows 7 is NOT one of the required operating systems.

For your purposes go ahead and download SSE 2014.  I've been using the 2008 R2 version and have never 'missed' any features.  I think that most of the advances in SS for a long time have been of interest to DBA's rather than developers.
Download SSE 2014 from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42299.  Get the version named ExpressAdv - this has everything.

LocalDB is typically used by developers when they want to temporarily save data on a user's PC to improve overall performance.  Learn Express first - then if you need it you can learn LocalDB which by then would be easy.

Looks like I cannot install SSEE in my win764 system, was informed incompatible. "You will be able to download the media but not install."
When I clicked the link for more information I was taken to a page that seemed to me, I fulfill the requirements (system, OS, and memory). I have hp laptop with Intel i7 3.687U CPU 2.10 GHz running windows 7 64-bit. I went to this page and it looks like SSEE 2014 SP1 is the last version that would work with my system.
