I've installed locally in the past using XAMPP but the issue is my co-admin is not able to work on the style if it is only run locally.thecoalman wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 8:36 pm You can just install in different directory, use a different prefix for database tables. However, the easier thing to do is install local server.
Installing and Setting Up Your Own Web Server
Edit: as far as the php version goes this can be set on per directory basis if your host allows it. You would have to check your hosts documentation but honestly just use local server. It's much easier for testing and development.

I would advise installing using softaculous so it can get everything in the correct place for you as it currently seems like you have a version tailored for windows.
Mssql refers the Microsoft SQL server general. SQL lite is a server less setup that would not be setup in cPanel.
