ok so firstly i apologise to anyone who thinks i sound stupid as i have no experience in this but youve got to start somewhere lol, so here goes some questions that id appreciate very much if someone could answer me or point me in the right direction.

1.would it matter trying to set a server up using windows 7 home edition or windws 10 home edition? last time i tried to download SQL server (needed?) it wouldnt seem to work on windows 7 home edition.

2. can someone link something that has instructions/links i can follow to get into a basic set of files(does anyone know how long this generally takes) my friend is a programmer who will help once i get set of files together and get in game.

3.embarrasing im asking this but how would i get from me being alone offline to online live for all? dw im nowhere near this just curious to know :D thanks to anyone who can answer these somewhat stupid questions
this is more for personal use and practing on thanks alot

p.s its crystal files im looking at cheers.

1 works on window 7 no issues
2 the files are sticky so go look and you will find them no SQL needed, but if you want to edit things you may want the mir2master files and you will need to know visual studio and c coding
3 getting online is fairly easy you need to open ports on tcp and udp for incoming and direct connections to host pc then just change config on server and config on client and ire online

Should work OK on windows 10, as for getting online have a look on sticky threads by far iceman and Jamie/hello its very simple and if you are not sure maybe ask at that point I could do it for ypu if you install teamviewer but im sure you could manage

it's so simple to setup a server, no need for SQL, if you want others to connect, just make sure your enable port 7000 on your PC's firewall.. :)

There is a guide by far for black screen issues you will need direct x SDK

Un likely make sire you have dot net framework 3.5 and 4.5 download the standalone package you will probably need to remove visual c 2010 and direct x then install direct x SDK after you have the dot net framework

Remove from pc not mir..... You need to reboot pc after install or removal of any program 1 at a time....

If you dont have visual c then you dont have direct x SDK..... Uninstall direct x then reboot pc then right click direct x SDK and run as admin install then reboot then install framework 3.5 reboot then install 4

It works fine on windows 10 as I have it and runs fine for me! Hate to say it but maybe your not so tech savvy? Maybe a server isnt for you?!? Good luck
