To add a Windows 10 PC:
1. Go to Settings > Accounts > Your info
2. Select Sign in with a Microsoft account instead
If your PC still isn't showing up, try adding the Microsoft account again.
If there is a Nook app that will work with a Windows 7 machine I cannot find it. This is why I was still clinging to Nook Study. When B&N stopped support for Nook for PC and Nook Study I called B&N to complain. This was during the period when B&N had stopped the ability to read Nook books online on their site. I told them that I now had no way to read the books I had bought from them online as I had been promised when I bought them. They told me to buy a Nook. I had one but I did not tell them that because there was a principle involved. I told them I should not have to buy one of their devices to read books that were bought with the promise of reading them online. They told me to buy I Windows 10 machine. I kid you not - this was their response to the fact they had made it impossible to use a product they had sold me without buying something I was told I did not need when I bought the product.
If the Nook App for Windows worked on a Windows 7 machine I would not have bother with Nook Study.

I think I stated in the thread I just linked to above: the updated Nook for PC app DOES NOT RUN ON WINDOWS 7. That's exactly what the BN rep said, and I quoted it in my linked post.
He did say Nook Study should still work, and is your ONLY option for accessing BN books on Win 7. And if having problems, he told me that contacting customer service they would help you. Too bad about what they told you earlier, that is indeed frustrating. Just telling you what he told me, today when I called in. I was that specific question mainly for your benefit, as myself, I only run Win10 and don't have Win7 any longer. Good luck getting it resolved.
