Most post 2017 made hardware doesn't support windows 7. Someone gave me a new motherboard made in 2018, the CPU is always at 1800MHz, doesn't go fully idle.

Standby doesn't work either.

Well, the modern standby actually leaves the CPU in a working state and on Windows 10/11 the computer would install updates in the background and do other random stuff that heavily drains the battery. The true standby is not there regardless of your operating system.
