Op does not want to use it, and that's good enough for me.

skim the forum and you will not see a single question asked about win 7/8 that is not derailed with 'just run win 10 blah blah blah' 'why do you want to run that old OS blah blah blah' 'let me tell you how great it is blah blah blah' if you can't help with what the op is actually asking, the honestly just don't respond to the thread. but folks here can't accept this and instead badger the heck out of people for not using the newest. Some don't want to use it, need software it won't run or any other reason they don't want to run it. The problem is every time someone asks anything about running anything but the latest/greatest from windows, folks jump right in trying to convince him to just run win 10/11 cause it just awesomest thing ever. Sorry for expressing my feeling, but now I feel genuinely sad on your behalf being locked up into MS products, and now you feel having no options but using something not fit for modern use. However - if it turns out I'm wrong on this assumption, I'll more than happy to help getting started. I stop here because it's just getting boring to read if not interesting in this in first place. If the computer is capable of running W7, it's most likely capable of running most modern Linux distros out there. The old computer can be donated or sold (for a very small amount) to somebody that are capable of installing and using Linux on it, rather than throwing it in recycle bin. Originally I was thinking of suggest Linux, but it takes persistence and patience to learn something new from the ground and reading the post, my gut feeling tells me you're most probably not the type of person to go that route.

If I can come with an honest suggestion, I'd say buy a new computer that support a newer windows.
