Well it would appear that Dropbox does install and work on Windows 7.  Now for how much longer it will work, I am in no position to say, but for now I will just enjoy it.  And I am not surprised that Windows 11 had a hard time installing on a Windows 7 machine.  Microsoft has very specific requirements for installing Windows 11.  I have had several PCs that would easily run Windows 10, but said they did not support Windows 11.

Windows 11 requires Trusted Platform Module 2.0 support. Check to see if your PCs have a Trusted Platform Module and if they do, make sure they're enabled in BIOS. My computer was reporting that it wasn't supported by Windows 11, but my TPM was disabled. Once it was enabled, Windows 11 was showing me the option to upgrade.

    The PC in question is a home brew I built probably 10 years ago so almost certainly doesn’t have Trusted Platform Module.

    Thanks.
