There is no Nighthawk App neither for Windows nor for MacOS - you can continue using the Genie program, for Live Parental Control it's even required. And yes, this Genie for Windows program can run on Windows 10.
Thank you very much for all of your help. I did load a zipped update file to my windows 10, but this machine has no ethernet connection for the older ethernet cables. Any suggestions. was hoping that I could run the update wirelessly to the R 7000 router.
So what does stop you from doing the update via the wireless connection? USB 2.0 to Fast Ethernet and USB 3.x to Gigabit Ethernet adapters are in the market for a few dollars if it has to be a wired connection.
The App would do the very same, or do you have Ethernet adapters for your mobile devices?

If you can access the browser interface on your R7000, then there is nothing to stop you from updating the firmware over wifi. It is a bit less reliable, but many people successfully manage it,
As you have a Windows 10 PC, you could install the Netgear Desktop Genie for Windows and start with that.
If you want the desktop genie for Windows start here:
