Truer words from a MS devotee there never was. Yes I understand Win7 is a dead OS. That does NOT negate the fact that some have not or cannot up-puke to Win10/11. It took me weeks to strip out all the ID10T crap from Win11. Another several weeks to get as many apps as possible running as they did in Win7.
You're welcome to run VMWare all you want. The MS/IBM reek it exudes is too much for me to stomach. The most recent version does NOT support Win7.
The version of VirtualBox I linked to is older but not abandoned. The main reason I went to all the trouble was to help those like me who had not been able to update to a newer version of Winblows. I tried every method of updating imaginable and all failed. Trust me, I tried every method possible (dozens) and all barfed in true MS manner.
It's all fine and dandy if SF no longer supports Win7. Although I no longer run Win7 I do understand the predicament others in that situation are faced with. I was there. I had to put up with wonderful folks like you pushing me into Windows 10/11 with no regard whatsoever the cost it would incur or the losses where incompatible applications were concerned.
It's funny but of all the people that harassed me to "upgrade" my OS not a single one of these beautiful people had any suggestions regarding migrating older PAID software to the new OS. Not a one.
All I ever intended to do was offer a viable solution to the Win7 dilemma, albeit temporary.
This thread is about running SF in Win7. Not about the heresy of running an outdated, unsupported, evil, world ending, blasphemous, non-conformist, antiquated, California cancer causing illegal OS.
So I guess it stands at "Windows 7 is screwed, done and over with, upgrade to Windows 10 or 11 or take a flying fuck in a rolling doughnut."
I think this thread is done.
I've messaged the OP with a link to the steps to migrate from 7 to a more recent version of Windows and how to get by in the interim.

I am on the same thinking here. Win 7 will be my last windows products as I have already switched to mac computers, but I have already spend hundreds of $$ on buying streamfab licenses and dvdfab products for win7 so I don't think I want to rebuy the exact same licenses again just for macs.
Streamfab has been worth every $ spent for me but I would still like to get the most out of it without having to rebuy everything just to do the same thing on the new mac computer.
