I was wondering what the last/latest full build ffmpeg version works on Windows 7.

I downloaded older full build versions from here.

And I found it works right up to ffmpeg-7.0-full_build.7z. This version will run.

7.0.1, 7.0.2 and 7.1 fail to start. I don't know if this is a bug but I think this is because it no longer supports Windows 7. Am I right about that?

This is the official/recommended source for Windows ffmpeg builds that also is used in Windows package managers.

To quote the page:

Essentials build compatible with Windows 7 or above. Full build requires at least Windows 10 and a CPU with SSE4.1

If full build works for you only up until 7.0, that means that would be the final version that works and you kind of self-answered yourself.

Also, 17.06.2024:

release 7.0 and git 2024-05-23-git-ece95dc3dc are the last full builds to support Windows 7 and 8. The rav1e lib can no longer be built for that target

02.01.2025:

CPUs without SSE4.1 are no longer supported in full builds. Restored libvvenc in full builds
