What you can do is to install VmWare, and download windows 10, and authorize 
windows 10 with your windows 7  key, and when you  want to launch Chirp, first 
launch windows 10 in a Hypervisor like VmWare, and install Chirp there.
I prefer 7 too, so I did the opposite, installed 10 as the host, then put 7 in 
VmWare as the guest OS, and use 7 for just about everything, and if I have to 
use 10, I toggle out of 7 and use 10.

Tony, you are correct although just because Microsoft doesn't support Windows 7 
doesn't mean a program can't still work on Windows 7. there are a lot of hams I 
know that are still using Win-7 like I am and it runs very stable for all my 
applications except Chirp-Next. So now I have to use the older version of Chirp 
and am forced to get a newer machine with Windows 10 or 11 just to use the Next 
version of Chirp. Then I have to reinstall all the other programs onto the new 
machine. We hams are cheap and/or live on a fixed income. Look at the majority 
of hams. I do like the fact there is a new version of Chirp, I just wish I 
could use it on my machine. i was even tempted to send in a donation until I 
found out I couldn't use it. Like I said, I do wish it would have been more 
apparent that the new next version of Chirp will not run on Win-7.

  To be more accurate, it is made for Linux, Mac OS-X and Windows.
  Microsoft no longer support Windows 7.

    I would think it would be good to make it clear this "next" version of 
    Chirp is made for Windows 10 and doesn't work on Windows 7.
