All, I am currently running OSx High Sierra on a mid 2012 unibody MacBook Pro 15 in. I have installed Windows 7 via Boot Camp. My question is if anyone knows, if I were to upgrade via the App Store to OSx Mojave, would I lose my installation of Windows 7 ? Just inquiring.
Windows version in Mojave

Hello,
You shouldn't lose access to Windows installed in Boot Camp when upgrading OS X/macOS. However, Mojave and later only officially support Windows 10 in Boot Camp, so that may be the issue you run into.
-System requirements to install Windows using Boot Camp for macOS
-Boot Camp (software)
Hope that helps,
C

Excellent.
My guess is that it will still work, since it was already setup and installed. If you tried to install Windows 7 now, it may error out.
Glad it is working, and thanks for lettings us know.
Be well,

C, I updated to Catalina today with no loss on my Win7 partition which does prove that to keep an older Windows version it's best to upgrade MacOS incrementally vs trying all at once.
