MS SQL Express for View 7.4

Hello:

Planning an upgrade for our Horizon View environment, currently running 7.0.3 with three hosts and ~50 vPCs.  Includes a standalone View Composer service running MSSQL Express 2008.   My question concerns supported version of MSSQL Express for Horizon 7.4 - although the Standard and Enterprise versions of MSSQL SQL server 2014 and 2016 are all supported, the Compatibility Matrix doesn't list any version of MSSQL Express later than 2012 as either compatible or not compatible ....

Not really interested in standing up a full-blown SQL Server installation, but would also like to move to a newer database platform than 2012.  Is the use of MSSQL Express 2014 or 2016 a supported configuration?

Thanks,

Thom
