Microsoft Access 2007 Unrecognized Database Format .accdb File

In my case I downloaded a Microsoft Access File with extension of .accdb but when I open it using Access 2007 I received and error saying “Unrecognized database format “C:\Users\howtoquick\desktop\file.accdb”.
I confidently sure that the database file I downloaded is not corrupted so no need for me to repair. After checking with installed application on my Windows 10 computer it works, I recalled that I installed the service for MS Office so I decided to install it to the PC where I’m having problem on opening the database file.
