Windows 7

more options

I have an old PC desktop which I would like to replace with a newer model. I want to get a used one with Windows 7 on it. I know Windows 7 is no longer supported but I have a lot of old software that I use, some not often, and have no desire to purchase new software. I was told that I could not download Firefox onto a newer PC with Windows 7. Is this true? I do have a laptop with Windows 10 that I use for on line ordering, etc. I like the desktop as it has a decent keyboard and mouse.

Thank you Ty. I was told by a computer/sales tech that I could not download Firefox onto a newer computer with Windows 7. I am glad to know that I can. I probably will be able to download virus protection software as well. Your response has given me more confidence in looking for a newer PC desktop with Windows 7 on it.
