Where can I find a signed Windows 7 image for VirtualBox? (self.asklemmy)

I just want to play Magic the Gathering Online. I need it for nothing else. It runs like ass under WINE and even Proton. So if there is any other way I can do this, without going the nuclear option, I don"t even need to setup a VM for it.

Out of curiousity, why not use a Windows 10 VM? Those signed ISOs should be readily available. windows 7 is a bit too vulnerable to be allowed internet access even in a VM, imo

That would be my last resort option. It's just childish spite, honestly. Windows 10 is what made me switch to Arch Linux (insert I use arch btw meme)

It's a pretty solid OS now.

I don't know the game, but maybe it doesn't work in newer Windows versions. I have Windows 7 VM as a printer driver, because the printer drivers cannot be installed in newer versions of Windows and HPLIP only has partial support for HP PSC1315. It could be same case with other programs.
