I have a feeling the reason Edge isn't available on Windows 7 is not because it doesn't run but because they intended for Edge to be one more reason to upgrade to Windows 10.

If that's the case, there's zero reason to assume that they will let their Chromium based Edge run on Windows 7 either.

Microsoft is now building a Chromium-powered version of its Edge browser that will be available for testing in the coming weeks. It’s being decoupled from Windows 10, and businesses will be able to install Edge on Windows 7 or Windows 8.

MSFT: Please allow us to install former Trident-based edge as a separate browser.
