I believe that the pep-json-server.exe is not compatible with your Operating System. I'd recommend you go to menu Tools > Options, switch to the Privacy tab, and select Force using S/MIME and Enigmail.
That will disable the pEp mode, and switch you to the "classical" Enigmail mode. You can then go to menu Enigmail > Setup Wizard that will guide you through setting things up.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
1) No
1.1) S/MIME is part of Thunderbird, and neither pEp nor Enigmail not support it
2) AFAIK, Windows 7 SP2 is the minimum required version for pEp. But pEp is an external component to Enigmail, just like GnuPG. I won't speak for either of them.

Thank you its working.
1) Do I have any functional or safety deficiencies when using this method?
1.1) Yes > Efail S/MIME https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFAIL
2) It would be helpful to add the information that Windows 7 is not fully supported at the Engimail download homepage
