A bit off track (apologies to the moderators), but I went sideways and found a company that tweaks all of MS' win10 & 11 security updates so they will work with Win7 and they also create their own fixes for post EOS Win7 security flaws that are not addressed by Win10/11 updates. They mostly deal with big business (many ATMs still run on XP for instance), but they do accept home customers. PM for details.
There are also forks of common web browsers & email clients that work with Win7 and there are AV & firewall vendors who have committed to support Win7 for the long term, so for those users for whom there are features of Win7 that you really must have, one can continue to safely use Win7 despite MS having abandoned it. Just remember to occasionally manually update security certificates.
