It's off topic, but: For the record, neither Windows 7 nor Windows 10 are
supported by Microsoft any more. They are not safe to run if connected to any

They receive no security updates but the risk goes down with time. They
were exposed longer to attacks AND as the number of remaining users
becomes smaller over time the likelihood of an attacker spending time to
try to discover a new exploit goes down.
The real problem with an old, no longer supported OS is that it will not
receive updates of drivers, etc. and so new hardware not going to be
supported. But are you really likely to be adding new hardware to an old
machine running under an old OS.
