Won't open on Windows 7 - trial mode??

Question

I was using my Lightroom cc and Adobe account just fine as recently as the end of October 2023 but when I tried to open my Lightroom catalog right now I got a box asking if I wanted to load the trial software. I'm currently running on a Windows 7 machine but have been working on my catalog to get it ready to transfer to my new Win 11 machine. But now I can't even get to my catalog?
 
What gives? Has Adobe changed something in the last couple of weeks? I just checked and my Adobe account is current and active.

What I have has been working FINE up to a couple weeks ago. Been using it this way for many years (since 2017).

Now it won't even open at all except to a small box that says "Sign-in required" and something about trial software.

I don't see how Windows 10 is relavant to this discussion. Over the last few months I've imported and edited hundreds of images all under Windows 7 with no issues.

Is this just an authentication issue? I seem to be connected ok to Adobe servers.
