This is pretty good. I use it daily on my Windows 7 system mainly because of hevc, eac-3, jpeg-xl support and a slightly newer version than chrome for windows 7 https://thorium.rocks/win7

When Skype and Firefox stopped working in Vista I moved to SeaMonkey and Skype in a seamless RDS session.
Only when I moved apartments (and wasn't in the mood to bring my desktop to life, substituting on T440) I finally gave up. Probably around 2017-2018?
This month I took thr Ghost image of it and shoved it on my long term storage. When (if) I would be in a mood I would try to run it again, on ESXi.
But hey, Win7 still mostly works. At least I don't remember it refusing to remember wifi passwords, as my Win10 started a week ago.
