You can flash on win7, i have that OS and i've flashed a bunch of times (32bit mind, i'm now on 64 bit and haven't yet tried flashing)

Anyway, flashing is as simple as downloading the program and running it. Takes less than 5 minutes. Download the stuff, rename the OS image to 'os.bin' and the emmc to 'emmc.bin' and then use cmd on windows to direct it to the file location, and it does it by itself. This is the best time to learn, when you actually need to do it. If you don't do it now, why on earth would you ever learn in the future?

Flashing is more than just installing the software, it completely wipes the entire device.

Anyway if you don't want to do it, i guess uninstall the custom kernel from the menu (NOT the app manager!) and then try NSU. Is it safe? Sure, the worst that'll happen is you **** it up and need to flash it, which you need to do anyway.
