I would like to install a web server on my Window 7. I found instructions for installation of Apache on Windows 7. But as far as I understood I need to have the administrator permission to do so. Am I right?

I also though that it is probably a good idea to install another web server (like a native one) on my Windows 7. I thought it should be easier to do + apache is not designed for Window 7. Driven by these ideas I found some information about Microsoft IIS server. But than it is written that I need to have the Professional edition or the Ultimate edition of Windows 7. Does anybody know how can I check my edition? I do not know which edition I have.
