An Idea for a Software Program I Want

It's not for vintage Macs, not even new Macs (though it could be), but rather it's for vintage PCs. Specifically, ones that run windows 2000 through 7 (so, basically computers made from 2000-2015 or so).

The idea is basically to take this app, which only runs on Windows 10 or newer, and create a work-alike program that will run on XP through 7 quickly and efficiently.

All I want is a software that takes an audio input (ASIO support would be nice), runs it through a VST plugin, and then sends it off to a streaming server. It doesn't seem too hard in principal, but I'm not a programmer, nor do I want to use AI to make it. If anyone reading this would be willing to use AI to whip up a working proof-of-concept, or can do it on their own without much effort, I would appreciate it, but it's not necessary.

The reason I want this is because I have a computer which is unstable when running anything other than Windows 7 (I haven't tried 8.x, though I'd expect it to be about the same since 7 and 8.x are essentially the same at their core), and I want to use that app I linked to, but can't so well because, like I said, it only supports Windows 10 and 11. I found that I can make it run, badly but relatively stably, using something called VxKext NEXT, which is a compatibility layer that allows newer Win10/11 apps to run, but I'd much rather be able to run it, or something like it, natively on vanilla 7 in the hopes that it would be faster and more stable.

So, thoughts?

that app you linked was designed and made by a bot. you can do the same, or just ask the bot which software is already available to you, and it will tell you that old versions of OBS work on win7 and can stream rtmp. ffmpeg can even stream recordings. the bot can even help you upgrade your copy of windows and keep your machine stable, if possible.
