Dear Mark, Many thanks for your reply. As there is some limitation/dependence on upgrade Tomcat 7, may I know Tomcat 7 the windows platform support status before Tomcat 7 end of support.

Apache Tomcat 7 reached end of life 18 months ago and is no longer supported: https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-70-eol.html Apache Tomcat 9.0.x is currently supported and, based on support periods for previous versions, I'd expect that support to last for a further 4-5 years. The end of life date, when decided, will be announced with at least 12 months notice. Apache Tomcat 9 is a special case since it is the last version that implements Java EE (Tomcat 10 onwards implement Jakarta EE). The Tomcat community expects to provide support for Tomcat 9 for as long as there is a demand for a version of Tomcat that supports Java EE. The exact detail of how extended Tomcat 9 support will work is TBD but it will be something like once Tomcat 9.0.x reaches end of life, Tomcat 9.10.x will be released which will be Tomcat 10 but with Java EE support. Once Tomcat 10 reaches end of life, so will 9.10.x and 9.11.x will be released which will be Tomcat 11 but with Java EE support and so on. Apache Tomcat is supported on any Windows platform currently supported by Microsoft.
