NorthGuy:
Do people still use Windows 7 for microcontroller work? Whether development or production ...

Sacodepatatas:
I do, everything seems to work fine: mplab, the cubeide/cubeprogrammer/stflash), Arduino (I use it solely because of the firmware of my old 3D printer), MounRiver, Octave, Kitcad, LTSpice (the one with extended libraries), but I can't upgrade to Windows 10 because my system is so much messed up so the upgrader refuses to perform any changes once 10h has passed from attempting.

I had some troubles installing an old version of MSYS2 in order to have a working "make" but finally I managed to do it and now I use the ARM toolchain + PYOCD with converted St-link clone into a CMSIS DAP, for working with the PUYA PY32F00-Template.

woofy:
My last win7 machine died many years ago so as much as I liked it, I just let win7 go.
I use win10 when I have to, otherwise I live in Linux (mint).

JPortici:
When windows 10 goes out of support i'll push to move my machine to debian (which i already use at home, though i rarely if ever do any work there)
I'll keep a windows 11 VM, locally or on the server, just to deploy the software and for whatever won't work under wine

BadeBhaiya:
Most embedded devs (at least in my part of the world) use windows 7 or 10 (or 11, more recently), with only vendor IDEs

Me? I use Arch Linux BTW
