I don't know what requirements that you need meet.
You can program in PL/SQL with only Oracle RDBMS installed on PC.

Code:
  1  declare
  2  begin
  3  dbms_output.enable(32000);
  4  dbms_output.put_line('Hello WORLD!');
  5* end;
SQL> /
Hello WORLD!

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Oracle was never certified on any Home MS Windows edition, so you should consider upgrading your operating system.

As you are a student, I'd suggest Oracle 11g XE (Express Edition) which is a fully operational database and is an excellent choice for a student who wants to practice SQL and PL/SQL.

As I said: even if you install it on MS Windows 7 Home, there's no guarantee that it'll actually work as expected. You might try, though.
