Oh my god, Command and Conquer Generals. One of the biggest disappointment I ever felt, next to Yandere Simulator and Inescapable, but for different reasons : it's totally unplayable on anything older than Vista.

Stuck in 7 for years now. I'm stuck in that part where I should copy all my personal files, but I don't have enough space to do so, and I was told that installing 10 would delete everything on C:/. And nothing I tried so far has worked, and it pisses me off, I even got the expansion Zero Hour.

Just buy an external hard drive, copy your files onto it before installing 10. Also, have you tried running the game in compatibility mode?

I’m going to have to agree with the guy above me in saying that as of now, windows 7 is as outdated as XP was when 7 came out and there being little to no support for it, its only a matter of time before it blows. I can say this from experience, unfortunately. If you use a backup software (windows backup is fine) and an external hardrive (I suggest something no less than a terrbyte.) to save all your files you can easily copy over everything to a new computer/after updating but depending on if its a new computer or the same old one you will experience different issues.
With windows 10 out for a while now and most of the weirder bugs ironed out, compared to windows 11 that was just recently released at the time of writing this and giving out warning it will brick yo shit, its not a bad idea to switch if you can although its usually not the windows program but probably your computer itself. A computer from the 1990s, no matter how useful it has been, can’t continue to support you after 30 years compared to a new high spec one. I love my old PCs as much as the next person, but when a new model can run a game perfectly at twice the frames and quarter of the issues, its a no brainer to move on.
If you can't afford a new hard drive then just pack everything in password protected RAR files and upload them to cloud services. It's up to you to decide on what you'll spend more: time or money.

Honestly, I think I tried everything but the "fishy mod found on a russian website".

Yeah, sooner or later I'll have to cave in. Honestly, I have plenty of reasons to, I have a few games that don't work on 7 (Sea of Thieves, Age of Empires DE), but procrastination is one hell of a drug.

Welp. Curious what happened, I though only Twitter butchered pictures, but the source says Pixiv.

Artists sometimes don't save images in the proper format.

As for C&C Generals, I distinctly remember playing it on Win 7 ages ago. A quick search indicates the problem appears to be introduced by a later update (KB3086255 in 2015) that disabled a required background service process for security reasons. The solution is to reenable the background service (as detailed here), though it will reintroduce a security hole that puts you at a greater risk of getting viruses/malware (which was why the Windows update disabled the service).
Still... best to upgrade to Windows 10 or Linux (Mint is user friendly) eventually.
(This coming from someone who's an avid hater of Win10 forced updates breaking my shit all the damn time. Including a brand new computer, ha!)

This is why I usually ask artists I commission to send me picture through emails, rather than through Imgur or Twitter. Especially Twitter, I don't know how it works, but uploading a picture there always screws it up.

Before, that was because Twitter would compress the hell out of them. It stopped doing that over a year ago, Twitter uploads are identical in quality to pixiv uploads now, which for some reason hasn't stopped some artists from uploading inferior versions there.

Twitter used to aggressively compress their images (to save bandwidth/storage). They still do but the compression is far less aggressive now and hence less noticeable.
But yeah, if you commission something, best to try to get the artist to give it to you in a lossless format (.png being the easiest to access) saved directly from the .psd or whatever image editing/drawing software they are using. And to do give it to you using direct file transfers or a email or a zip file hosted on a file hosting website (raw images have a tendency to be compressed by certain file hosts/cloud storage providers).
