You can, but it is not officially supported, some forum members have reported that it works fine but the functionality is not guaranteed by NI

Generally, LabVIEW itself is almost never a real problem. I have installed LabVIEW versions as old as 5.1 on Windows 10 and that simply worked. What will be a much bigger challenge is to get old drivers such as DAQmx and similar to load on modern systems. And you can't use DAQmx 21.0 with LabVIEW 7.1 to just name a somewhat ridiculous combination. NI drivers until this year only really support the same LabVIEW version and 3 versions before. It can be made to work with older versions if you are careful when installing the newer DAQmx version to hide the old LabVIEW installations from it during installation, but that is not only unsupported behaviour but potentially highly dangerous as the old VIs in those old LabVIEW installations may not work with the newer DLLs without causing crashes.

Don't forget about other dependencies.
For us, or rather, some customers, SQLServer 2008 (sigh) is a problem, as it's not supported on Windows 11... A good reason for them to upgrade to a 14 year newer version, but still...

Which tools besides the LabVIEW DSC Toolkit install Microsoft SQL 2008? As far as the LabVIEW DSC Toolkit is concerned you should probably consider it legacy unsupported technology since a few years already. NI is not going to update that to newer systems nor 64-bit.

No tools from NI, our software uses it...
