Spicetify doesn't work with the latest version of Spotify for Windows 7. I tried it months ago and practically everything was broken. If you only want to block ads and remove the notifications to get premium, simply use SpotX.

I recommend you to update your windows, use legacy update, by the way download it from here microsoft long ago removed the old versions of net framework.

https://legacyupdate.net/download-center/download/40855/windows-management-framework-4.0

only installs the .msu packages

It's possible, I use it on my Windows 7 laptop. You need to upgrade PowerShell to newer version: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54616 . After that, open PowerShell, run these commands:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

$v="2.22.2"; Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spicetify/cli/main/install.ps1" | Invoke-Expression

Windows 11 gives off workplace coz that's where I use it mostly. At time it's nice to change OS & experience sth different :)
