Go for the community edition, if you don't have to look at the disk space.

I've been building Kodi using Visual Studio Express 2013 for Desktop on Windows 7 for a long time now without any issues so it is very possible.
Always read the
online manual (wiki),
FAQ (wiki) and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail Team Kodi members directly asking for support. Read/follow the
forum rules (wiki).
Please read the pages on
troubleshooting (wiki) and
bug reporting (wiki) before reporting issues.

Having just configured my first Kodi dev environment on a Win 7 machine I am just a little ahead of you Roney. This is the best of my experience.
Memphiz is right, you need Win7 Sp1 to get Visual Studio 2013 Express working.
You could use Visual Studio 2015 Community (also free) as Razze suggests but you need 2013 files to build the project without errors. Not totally sure, but with just VS2015 installed I got in a mess.
You can get VS2013 working with old IE versions (and all seems fine), but after a 30 day trial period it wants to phone home and needs IE10 (or later) installed to be able to do that.
