You've done your part.

Now send an email that states that you understand that he doesn't want to upgrade computer with asset tag X out of Windows 7, despite the security concerns and crashes, and if this changes, you have a windows 10 desktop ready to deploy when/if the time comes, then thank him for his time.

Edit: oh, and file this email (and any responses) in an easy to find place, just in case.

E2: also, windows 10 is EOL soon, so you may want to upgrade the new one to 11 if the software works with 11. And make dang sure the software works. The vendor's word might be misguided. It doesn't work, until you verify it works.
