If I recall correctly, the official policy is to support:
1. The last major GnuCash release,
2. On the oldest officially supported OS release.
This doesn't mean older versions won't work, (some people are still in
2.6.x land!) or that newer versions won't necessarily work on older OS
versions.
Since MS finally gave up the ghost for consumers on Win7, so did the
GnuCash team. This doesn't mean 4.x (or newer) won't run on Win7 unless
a dev specifically says so. (which may be included in various release
notes) But if you try this and something doesn't work, you'll likely be
directed to update your OS or roll back to a still supported GnuCash
version for that old OS. (always keep backups!)
Regards,
Adrien

Sharon,
The risk of updating GnuCash to the most recent version on a Windows 7
computer is pretty small compared to your continued use of Windows 7.
Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 7 about a year and a half ago.
You should avoid using Windows 7 for anything of consequence. Perhaps
things like offline games and distributed computing roles such as the
Folding at Home project would be OK.
