If you need Windows 7 for legacy software, move that machine offline permanently. Do not connect a cracked Windows 7 PC to the internet. For everyone else, accept that Windows 7 is dead, and a "better" experience comes from upgrading or switching to Linux—not from chasing a 12-year-old exploit on sketchy download sites.
