Taking a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7, Windows 7
(released in 2009) is now only "eligible for the Extended Security Updates

Security updates are available for the operating system until at most
January 10, 2023 only for Professional and Enterprise volume licensed
editions"
What about asking Windows 8 or rather Windows 10 as prerequisite for future
LO 7.2.0 Windows version?
(benefit: not wasting time on an obsolete system if not in dev part in QA
part for example)
Sadly I don't see it as realistic. Look at the market share between Win
versions:

Let's revisit the topic in January 2023. If the downward trend continues
at the same rate, Win 7 might have a small enough market share by then
to justify dropping support.
