In case anyone else is in the same boat I am, I thought I'd share my journey through panic to joy!
Aaronantium did a mini-seminar on vid-making a while ago at a DC Slash house party (they're online, LMK if you want deets) (that's "DC" as in the city, not restricted to that universe), and recommended both Filmora and Resolve, with a slightly higher rec for Resolve, so I downloaded it, and when I decided to do the Vexercises, I unpacked it and installed it.
Well, it SAID it installed. But it wouldn't run, and gave me a lot of really weird error messages, until finally I figured out that it doesn't run on Windows 7.
Yes, I still have Windows 7. Look, I'm a medievalist by training. Also I'm saving up for a gaming computer.
I was panicking so hard that I forgot about Filmora. Then I remembered it, downloaded it and installed it and it opened right up quite happily! Yay!
TL;DR - if you're still running Windows 7, Filmora still works.
