Solution
HDMI is a digital interface. VGA is analog. Unless your adapter/cable is "active", it cannot provide the necessary signals to drive a VGA-only display. This seems to be the likely issue with your KVM and display/monitor.

Try using a HDMI to DVI adapter instead and use the DVI port on your Acer K202HQL .
What video ports does your Win 7 rig have? How is it connected to the KVM?

Then I assume you have the HDMI to DVI cable connected to the monitor. Is that correct?

Got it working thanks for all your help and support. I had to now that I have the cables and/or adapters you said to get. Set the monitor on the windows 7 pc bu clicking the windows and P button and change the screen options from single to multiple. Now the switch works for both PC's. Problem solved🤓💐🎆🎇🎉🎊🌷🌷
