Do you want to run Windows 7 on a Mac Plus, or do you want to install an old mac os on a PC?

If you just want to play around with old software, you MAY be able to find an emulator. It may even have a little blurb on the mac plus' wiki page.

 

Edit: not sure if we can link to emulators so I removed it.

It's possible. To install 7 on an apple machine, use the built in function called bootcamp. Installing OSX on non-apple hardware is against their EULA and hence not a topic for this forum. Really, don't ask. More rules here: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/965477-community-standards/

 

Did you see what kind of Apple Machine is a Mac Plus

Yes, there are ways to do it, however the forums' rules prevent me from telling you how.

 

Edit: If you Google around you'll find ways to do it, it isn't super hard.

Windows 7 will not run on that system as the hardware is "Ahem" proprietary APPLE.

 

That system is not shown to be able to run any Microsoft OS. 

 

Here is a link to the bootcamp OS page: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205016

At the bottom there is a chart.............
