When do you think Windows 11 will be released?

I think some free software like Slimjet web browser, and lesser known Antivirus may still support Windows 7 for a few more years.

never heard of slimjet. But I'm sure some people will keep Windows 7 supported.

I know Windows 7 have a lot of cool games, and software, so there probably still be some people who use Windows 7 on a Virtual Machine program or older PC.

Sadly those who want the games have no idea how to use a virtual machine.

I think Microsoft or another company can always make an easy to use Windows 7 virtual machine, but the Windows 7 Home retail box license still probably cost $100. If you want to legally use Windows 7 on a virtual PC, you may need to pay $100 for the Windows 7 license.

It can be more worth it buying a used/refurbishef Windows 7 PC for playing Windows 7 gamess and programs, and using hardware like printers which dont work properly in Windows 8 and 10.

I think I remember my teacher said there is a work around on VM to make a copy of windows to work without a key.

Making Windows 11 Virtual machine software easier can be useful, anf improve backwards compatibility with older games, software, and hardware would be nice.

that would really be nice, I know a lot people that would love to still use a W7 or even XP environment at a very easy level.
