As operating systems age, users often seek unconventional methods to access modern application ecosystems. This paper examines the technical process, security implications, and legal status of attempting to download and install the Google Play Store on a Windows 7 PC using the third-party platform APKPure (latest version). While technically feasible through Android emulation or runtime environments, the combination of an unsupported OS (Windows 7 EOL since January 2020) and a non-official distribution channel (APKPure) introduces significant vulnerabilities. This study concludes that while the procedure can be performed, it is not recommended for any production or personal security-conscious environment.
