Error running Power Bi on Win7 machines

Hi

 

Getting an error when running power on win7 machines.

 

It installs fine but when we run it we get the below. We have tried older versions from 2020 as it is supposed to work. There are win7 machines where it worked but when we did the upgrades it gave the below error.
