If you use the windows 7 PC just to control the machine and don't let it connect to the internet
you don't neet to change it
"If it aint broke don't fix it" comes to mind
At a later date if your windows 7 PC fails and you have to use a new PC
you can look at using a windows 10 PC and motion controller ,like a UC100 USB Motion Controller ,
that plugs into the machines printer port connector to save modifying the machine
A more expensive and involved upgrade would be to go for some thing like a ethernet smoothstepper
