Or you can take the opportunity to just run Linux in the VM - by the way Windows 10 and Windows 7 include Hyper-V, as an alternative to running VMware.

As always, there are many ways to do almost anything with computers.

What you can do is to install VmWare, and download windows 10, and authorize windows 10 with your windows 7  key, and when you  want to launch Chirp, first launch windows 10 in a Hypervisor like VmWare, and install Chirp there.
I prefer 7 too, so I did the opposite, installed 10 as the host, then put 7 in VmWare as the guest OS, and use 7 for just about everything, and if I have to use 10, I toggle out of 7 and use 10.

Subject: Re: [chirp_users] New chirp-next build

Tony, you are correct although just because Microsoft doesn't support Windows 7 doesn't mean a program can't still work on Windows 7. there are a lot of hams I know that are still using Win-7 like I am and it runs very stable for all my applications except Chirp-Next. So now I have to use the older version of Chirp and am forced to get a newer machine with Windows 10 or 11 just to use the Next version of Chirp. Then I have to reinstall all the other programs onto the new machine. We hams are cheap and/or live on a fixed income. Look at the majority of hams. I do like the fact there is a new version of Chirp, I just wish I could use it on my machine. i was even tempted to send in a donation until I found out I couldn't use it. Like I said, I do wish it would have been more apparent that the new next version of Chirp will not run on Win-7.

Microsoft no longer support Windows 7.
