maybe not, but electron requires some refactoring and learning a few new things by itself, it's also not a straight swap from a web app.

Win7, for better or worse, is still a relevant OS. What engine does its native webview use? Some old IE thing that is garbage in comparison to Chromium?

Valid point. But also worth pointing out that react native doesn't support win 7 either (probably for that exact reason), and is often suggested as an electron alternative.
