Rufus has stopped supporting Windows 7
Just to add a small correction here: it was. But Microsoft's strengthening of who could access their downloads in January this year means that it's become a major headache (i.e. time sink) to try to fix it so that it works on Windows 7. Which means that, no matter what version of Rufus you're using, and because this is actually a remote script that is being downloaded and executed by Rufus, ISO downloads have already been disabled on Windows 7 on account that if you run the script, it will just prompt you that it is not compatible with Windows 7 and exit.

Get W10 21h2 iso
The thing is that, even if https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download does not provide you with a link to access old Windows 10 ISOs, theses ISOs are still being provided by Microsoft if you know how to query its servers. And Rufus uses a 100% Open Source script (called Fido) to do just that.
- You can no longer download Windows 11, 10 ISOs via Rufus as Microsoft blocks Fido

I don't want to do anything wrong, need advice
If you want to know more, you can have a look at what the FIDO PowerShell script used by Rufus does, knowing that the SKUs we use in our script can be publicly obtained with something like https://github.com/luzeadev/techbench-json-dump.
You can actually validate that all Rufus is doing is access the Microsoft website for downloads by looking at the source of the PowerShell script that is being run to obtain the download links, which, just like Rufus, if a 100% Open Source project accessible from https://github.com/pbatard/Fido.

Computer Speed Gains Erased by Modern Software
Hmm looking here: https://docs.atlasos.net/troubleshooting/removed-features/
It just seems to remove a lot of security modules, out of all the bloat out there why would I want to just remove the sec modules? Also it now adds an option to include those, so all in all, it then removes:
- Some APPX and UWP applications
- Logging of Network Configuration
- Microsoft Edge and WebView
- Restore Points and System Reset
- Telemetry
- Windows Error Reporting
- Windows Updates
- Hyper-V and VBS
- Background Apps
- Disk Defragmentation
- User Account Control (UAC)
I can use https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10 and https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10 and https://www.oo-software.com/en/ooappbuster to do most of the debloating and telemetry tasks.
I don't see the point of removing
- Disk Defragmentation (how much does this even affect general usage?)
- UAC (?)
- Hyper-V (since this is an optional feature anyway)
- Intune - PowerShell Script to decommission OneDrive and revert known folders
