Windows 7 too old for Adobe Media Encoder ?

Hi there!

I'm a new user of Premiere Pro. I installed it on my computer wich runs on Windows 7.
The problem is that when I want to export my project, I want to have it in .mov, so I choose Quicktime, but the H264 video codec won't appear in the list and if I choose another video codec, VLC cannot play the video. I read somewhere that the absence of the H264 codec is due to the fact that Adobe Media Encoder is not installed. And I can't install it because I would have to upgrade to windows 10 (which would be too complicated for me).
Anyway I was wondering if there is a way to find an old version of Adobe Media Encoder for Windows 7, and if not, how I could export my project in .mov without it.

My english is not perfect but I hope I have explained the problem clearly.

Thanks a lot for your help, I'm kinda lost.

Yes, thanks, I'm aware of that.
Could you think of another way to export my project in .mov without Media Encoder ?

Is there any way you can use H.264 in an .mp4 wrapper instead of a .mov wrapper?

 

I'm on a Mac and even here, H.264 in a .mov wrapper is not an option. I have to choose H.264 and Pr creates an .mp4 file.
