Along with above hardware wallet, I think using vmware or virtualbox is a good way.
In a virtual window with a wallet installed, If you do nothing but drive your wallet, I don't think you can be hacked.

You can’t be hacked with or without a VM when using a hardware wallet. Its main advantage is isolating the private keys from your computer. So, even if you’re infected, there is nothing the malware can do.

This. Especially knowing that you're running Windows 7. If you're planning on running a wallet on Windows, at least use Windows 10 with the latest security updates. I think they don't even roll security updates on Windows 7 now(I think).

If I'm not mistaken Microsoft are still releasing security updates for Windows 7. But offcourse, it would be better and safer to use newest version of Windows.
Or it would be best to invest ~$100 to get a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor. It supports huge number of coins and tokens and it much safer than typical desktop wallets.

There's no desktop wallet for multicurrency that supports both trx and xvg.

But to have an idea on what are the good multicurrency wallets --> https://cryptopotato.com/top-6-multi-currency-digital-wallets/

What cryptowallet is the safest for win7 to care different tokens (trx,xvg e.t.c)?

XVG is not a token. If you're looking for a software wallet that supports multiple coins/tokens, there is none. You have to install each software wallet that supports each token/coins, AFAIK.

Go with Ledger or Trezor if you're looking for an all-in-one wallet, you can use it with many cryptos on your Windows. It is more secure too.

The ledger currently supports more than 700 Crypto currencies/tokens, see this for more information: https://coinsutra.com/supported-cryptocurrencies-ledger-wallet/

You did not mention if you are interested in investing into a hardware wallet or if you want to use something else. All things taken into consideration, I would rather opt for a one-stop solution like the Ledger and you know you are safe. Wink

I would go with this suggestion. Both of these wallets has a proven record already and they're the best cryptocurrency wallets right now. I wouldn't go with Jaxx or Exodus, not reliable and issues arises from time to time. You are willing to invest on multi-coins, you might as well invest first in a wallet that is safe and secure, just saying.

if you want to be even safer since windows isn't very safe to begin with, considering 90% of all viruses exist for windows as well as windows 10 being a spyware station,
you should consider a hardware wallet - or at the very least, using a secondary OS for the crypto stuff.

In a security perspective, running on your Android/iOS device is more preferable. Probably unless you like downloading and installing random app .apk's from shady sites on your Android device. But hey, if you want to continue anyway, Electrum[1] as suggested by previous replies.

Hello!
What cryptowallet is the safest for win7 to care different tokens (trx,xvg e.t.c)?

In past it was Armory. Now i would say as person above, electrum and vanilla client.
It is all about bitcoin, if you need clients for different tokes its whole different topic because there is not that much of a choice of multi-clients.
