I am running Windows 7, opened Express v7.17.3 and it immediately offered the v7.18.3 update. Downloaded and opened. Seems to work fine.

Might very well do so ... but many Win7 users report crashes so if it happens you'll need to revert. Note there is an error above, Garmin state:

For those experiencing issues running 7.18.0 on older OSes, the last supported version 7.17.3 is available

not 7.18.3 as shown above

It looks like Garmin is confirming that their installation routine does not do an OS version check, although they are saying it in a very convoluted way. It it shame that their 'Download for Windows" button is not labeled "Download for Windows 10 or Windows 11". That webpage should also contain a link to the last version for Win7.
