Running an old version of Java runtime

Question
-
HI Folks,
I have a user who requires to run Java JRE7.52 for a particular website he uses, this was fine until his ol laptop gave up the ghost and we now have to try to configure a newer machine to do this. The problem is that when we visit the page we get a pop up from ie asking us if we want to run this out-of-date plug-in, if we accept then it re-loads the page and we get the error again. I've tried Chrome and Firefox and they give essentially the same warning, and the page will not load at all in Edge. None of them seem to have an option to 'always allow' the out-of-date plug-in.
Does anyone know of a way to disable these prompts? We can use either a win 8.1 or a win 10 machine, which cannot be a part of a domain, so GP is not an option.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Chrome has dropped NPAPI support since version 45, and Edge never supported it, so both of them can not display a Java Applet.
Firefox is dropping the support at the end of this year.
Seems that there is a group policy to disable the blocking for IE: Out-of-date ActiveX control blockingTurn off blocking of outdated ActiveX controls for IE on specific domains Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Security Features\Add-on Management

Hi Miller,
To my knowledge, Chrome, Firefox and Edge don’t allow out-of-date plug-in, so as EckiS said, we can try IE browser, since your computers don’t join domain, you may need to configure group policy manually on every machine.
