You've done your part.
Now send an email that states that you understand that he doesn't want to upgrade computer with asset tag X out of Windows 7, despite the security concerns and crashes, and if this changes, you have a windows 10 desktop ready to deploy when/if the time comes, then thank him for his time.
Edit: oh, and file this email (and any responses) in an easy to find place, just in case.
