R7 raw compatibility on older machine - advice on how to import/convert/etc?

New to the R world, coming from years of using 7Dii. Got an R7 and now I cannot open the new raw files on my system in either DPP or LR because the latest versions of those programs cannot run on the OS that I have and I cannot update my OS because my hardware is old and is already running the highest os it can support.

I have a perfectly nice late 2011 macbook pro that I retrofitted with a ssd and 16gb of ram and it's been working for me without a hitch. The highest OS it will run is High Sierra, but the newest DPP and LR which would support R7 files need to run on Big Sur.

Is there a work-around for me, short of buying a new computer? A way I can somehow convert the R7 raw files to tiff or dng or anything else usable so that I can edit them on my older versions of LR or DPP? I refuse to shoot only in jpeg and would be extremely sad to have to return my new R7 because I literally cannot work with the new raw files.
