I was using Turbo Pascal for about 20 years, but now I have changed my computer, and I have Windows 7 now. TP does not work under it. What similar language can I use instead of TP, that will require from me to spend minimum possible time studying it.

Used for structured programming, which requires a strong attention to detail, it's become a popular language to teach new students — however, it's less popular in the enterprise. Only 2 percent of businesses said they still support and hire for Pascal — while it's rare, it also makes anyone with Pascal skills valuable.
In Pascal a procedure doesn't return values and a function does. In C++ there are only functions, but the return type of a function can be void indicating that no value is returned (this corresponds to a Pascal procedure). The syntax for declaration is slightly different as shown below.
Turbo Pascal is a dialect of Pascal developed by Borland Software Corporation under Philippe Kahn's leadership. The software development system comprises a compiler and an integrated development environment (IDE) for the Pascal programming language compatible with CP/M, CP/M-86 and DOS.
Both Python and Pascal are relatively easy to get up and running with, and have pretty solid, standardized toolchains for industry use: in contrast C and C++ leave the build process relatively undefined and varying between compilers and platforms, which has resulted in a huge amount of friction to get any project ...
There is FreePascal:

It appears to be supported, I'm not sure how different it is to the Borland variant though.
Delphi is another option.
