the stats only have legit windows 7 and XP users, but installing it on a new system can only be done with non legit copies

Well, I don't have the necessary hardware right now. With legacy I meant a system from around 2014 which should be plenty of powerful enough for most applications.
In this video the dude uses such a system and the installation is successful. Question is if a genuine product key will still be recognized by Microsoft activation servers though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9bNEU1dLJI
I heard also rumors of a slipstreamed Win7 version with all drivers updated until official EOL(2020) which would be a huge help in the compatibility department.
As soon as I stumble upon adequate hardware I'll snag it and try to follow through with this pet project as my HP laptop from 2006 with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 is a little to weak for demanding tasks although I implanted a dual core AMD processor instead of the original single core.

Around the early win XP thru Win 8 days, the OEM CDs were tied to a manufacturer. (Probably BIOS).
I could install a Dell Win XP (Home or Pro) OS CD on a new Dell Win 7 system and vice versa.
Had a couple system I would boot into different OS's that way. (Had to add new OS on a different drive in a certain order).
No idea if that applies to Win 10 or Win 11 systems since things moved over to UEFI BIOS. Havent tried.

Seems like 2024 is the inevitable change, Mozilla Firefox is supporting security updates until September 2024.

As long as you don´t browse the deep dark web you´ll be fine I guess.
