I have been looking for a good one for a long time, but haven't found
one.


You are using Google Groups. Google Groups does not carry the Windows 7
newsgroup. You will not find the Windows 7 newsgroup anywhere on Google
Groups, no matter how long or hard you look.


Two different things you can do:

1. Use a real newsreader program to read the group
alt.windows7.general. Sign up with a text-only news server such as
one of these: news.individual.net -- see:
https://news.individual.net/ Eternal September -- see:
https://www.eternal-september.org/ Albasani -- see:
http://albasani.net/index.html.en AIOE -- see:
https://news.aioe.org/ (no sign-up required for AIOE

2. Use a different web service other than Google Groups. For example:
Narkive ...................
https://alt.windows7.general.narkive.com/ 1001Newsgroups
............
http://www.1001newsgroups.com/l-alt....7.general.html PCBanter.net
.............. http://www.pcbanter.net/forumdisplay.php?f=48

Kind regards

??

I use: nntp.aioe.org

So what is the newsgroup address/name for the Windows 7 newsgroup?

alt.windows7.general
