>Which HMD works on windows 7?
None of them officially support it. Vive and Index still worked last I'd heard, but I think a few things like motion smoothing are broken.
You're better off just updating to LTSC at this point.
>I could even afford the Vive but i'm perfectly content with a mid-end solution here
The Vive is visually inferior to a $300 Quest 2. I wouldn't even call it mid-grade anymore. It's only still worth mentioning because the tracking is better, it gives you FBT support out of the box, and it has an easy upgrade path to an Index. It's not worth dropping a bunch of money on though.
