I was bummed since it uses the entry point DiscardVirtualMemory and for some reason it won't work on Windows 7 (Yea, I'm still using W7 for "Work Reasons")

Out of curiosity, what use case can possibly warrant using Windows 7 in 2023?

    Very old PLC controllers in a mfg plant. You would be wildly (de)(im)pressed with the amount of equipment that is tied to W7 because of dongles, etc.

    The usual reason is business-critical software that only runs on Windows 7.
