There is no official RETAIL / ordinary end user support of Win7 since January 2020.
It's not been officially sold since the end of October 2016 (Professional OEM only)
Microsoft ended the sale of new retail copies of Windows 7 in October 2014, and the sale of new OEM licenses for Windows 7 Home Basic, Home Premium, and Ultimate ended on October 31, 2014. That's FIVE AND A HALF years ago.
Microsoft ended mainstream support for Windows 7 on January 13, 2015.
Certainly you can still buy licences and still PAY for some sort of support. I doubt many programmers are continuing support. Certainly not smaller outfits.
So, as Kovid says, enjoy it working, but don't expect him to support Windows 7. Older versions of Mac OS and Linux are not supported either, for various reasons. Though with Linux an ungrade is free (though one 2005 laptop I have doesn't work with graphics except in a generic X server mode after upgrade from Ubuntu 9!) and some old Linux you can update parts.
