“I have recently brought my older windows 7 computer back up to run and come to find out they no longer use that system or do any work for it and I also know that since Jan of this year. Can I upgrade to windows 10 from windows 7 if I wanted to?”

The answer is probably Yes but consider this; Any windows 7 machine will be pushing the age barrier *min of 10 years* and now the questions is; Should you? I think that you would feel better with your data on another, more recent computer, maybe not new but newer. Windows 10 will require more from your older Windows 7 build and now that windows 10 has been out for 8 years, and Windows 8 before that, my concern is some hardware on your current (OLD) computer will fail before you get settled into your Window 10 upgrade. If you are only a Home user, then do not purchase the Pro upgrade. My recommendation is to Ask for help from Geek Squad to transfer your old Data to USB drive or to a newer device. The new machine will come with Windows 11. FYI- Extended support for Windows 7 ended on January 14, 2020.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Unfortunately no. Windows 11 requires at least an 8th gen processor and a TPM 2.0 chip. Neither of which were available in the era of Windows 7.
