    As long as your system meets the minimum requirements per

    It should be able to get installed on Windows 7. Use the Deployment Guide.

    Good Luck.

    For a home network WSUS is kind of overkill. I usually just set my computers at home on Auto update and Microsoft Updates and be done with it. Especially if the computers are Windows 7 and up.

    No. WSUS can only be installed on a Server operating system: Win2003SP2, Win2008SP2, or Win2008R2SP1.
