1) Make sure you have update 195 installed. If you don't, install it and relaunch MinimServer.
2) Check that there is a MinimServer/profiles folder containing one or more .profile files
3) If you have a MinimServer full license activated for this NAS, deactivate it
4) Uninstall MinimServer, choosing the option to save the configuration file
5) Uninstall Java
6) Install DSM 7
7) Install the DSM 7 version of MinimServer. This includes its own Java runtime, so the Synology Java package is no longer needed.
8) Make sure you have update 195 installed. If you don't, install it and relaunch MinimServer.
9) If you deactivated a full license in step 3, reactivate the license

You should now be back where you started.

Edit: changed the order of some of these steps.

Simon, when I launch Minimserver (the starter version) it shows "MinimServer 2.0.18 update 191, Copyright © 2012-2021 Simon Nash" I use a Synology DS716+ ("Compact yet powerful, DS716+ newly features an Intel® quad-core CPU"). I have not updated to DSM7 yet. When I go to the download page ( https://minimserver.com/downloads/) would I click on the 'Intel' link for DSM6 before I continue past step 1 (if I understand the above post correctly). Thx
