Is Windows 7 really Possible in 2025?

[7ven]

Hi all, Im not too Techie, But i would love to build a custom Desktop 2025 almost 2026 and run Windows 7 on it so i can use some of my old audio Recording plugins with Audio Recording Software again. I actually have 3 running Windows 7 still working and i love them (old computers). Ive read where some have installed 7 on new machines.
Any pointers or directions would be great. Ive seen files talk about installing usb drivers and such.
Any out there having success with new computer and win7?
IM new here so just starting to read threads.

Yes, operating with Windows 7 in 2025 is possible.
Printing this text on my 19 years old Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop.

Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1
RAM 2GB installed
CPU - Intel Mobile Core2 Duo T5200@ 1,60 GHz / Merom 65nm Technology
120 GB Fujitsu SATA HDD 5400 RPM
Graphics - 256 MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300

Works great, MSE - modified with EasyFix, security updates - automatically - up to date.

OP asked about running 7 on a new computer not a 19 year old one. With a new one you have to factor in usb 3 or higher, nve, and processors that have technically unsupported 7.
