Right. You’ll have to continue to use the old version of
chirp (which likely works with your existing radios), and you can continue to
use it on your old computer. Nothing will change for you (just make sure to keep
a copy of the old chirp installer around).
Shiny nice new software wants to run on nice shiny new
hardware and operating systems that are being actively supported by their
manufacturers. The old chirp will be as frozen in time as your old computer is
now. If you choose to get a new radio that isn’t supported in the old chirp then
maybe consider getting a new computer first.
What, actually, is the problem?

chirp-next build
there are a lot of hams I know
that are still using Win-7 like I am and it runs very stable for all my
applications except Chirp-Next. So now I have to use the older version of Chirp
and am forced to get a newer machine with Windows 10 or 11 just to use the Next
version of Chirp.
