I am 100% sure this guy has all the good intentions, but from a security perspective, I don't know if it is any better than a completely unpatched Windows 7 ISO.

Unpatched Windows 7 is vulnerable to WannaCry/EternalBlue, among other well-known weaknesses.

Not the point. The point is that nobody who doesn't know him knows whether he can be trusted, and the ISO itself might be prepared on a compromised machine unintentionally. This is very much a supply chain issue.

You're right. The ISO might have been prepared on a Windows 11 machine.
