[[That said, I have a virtual machine (VM) of Win7 that I use for certain older programs. I DO NOT use it for going on the internet.]]
Woops- i shoudla kept reading lol- why not use it online? The snapshots in Vm should protect it if it becomes infected- and once you disconnect, you can revert to earlier time quickly- are there more dangers liek viruses breaking through VM’s and infection the host?

I have another computer for online activities.

Sort of. Not “protect” but revert. A minor inconvenience, well worth it.

None that I know of but that’s why I do backups on the host too.
So yeah, you’re basically right. :-)
