Will C::B still do on Win7?

Well, 25.03 works. At least IDE itself. I haven't tested built-in compiler, because I use different one.

If you're using a build compiled to work with UCRT then you need to install an update to enable UCRT in Windows 7 (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows-322bf30f-4735-bb94-3949-49f5c49f4732).

Is one of the builds (https://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/binaries/#imagesoswindows48pnglogo-microsoft-windows)
compiled to work with UCRT then?
(I haven't installed that MS update).

The Nightly are; so, most likely yes.

One of my PCs is still running Windows 7, so I'm still using a C::B build myself with the old MSCRT runtime library.

If you want to build that version, you can fork a repo from my github repo, and modify the build script (suppose you want the official SVN head version, not the one I have my own patches), and later use the github action to build a new C::B.
