the ftp site .Is there any reason why an installer for 10.7 version in
windows and linux is not added to archives?

I cannot speak about Aurora DB and its compatibility or
incompatibilities, but the latest minor version of 10 is 10.10, and a
lot of bugs have been fixed since 10.7, hence it is sort of logic in
my opinion to only have an installer for the latest version available,
and that eases a lot the maintenance as the Windows installer likely
needs to bundle OpenSSL and such dependencies. I would recommend also
that you do not use a version which has known bugs.

Note that Aurora is not PostgreSQL, so you cannot compare versions
straight. If you want an on premise installation that's identical to the
one in the cloud, you should use PostgreSQL on both sides.

You should be using 10.10, as it has important bug fixes including security
fixes. Whether Aurora contains those fixes or not you need to check with
the vendor, but if not you should be complaining to that vendor that they
are missing important fixes, rather than try to install a version with
known bugs and security issues.
