I would strongly urge you to work with the Zebra Partners and Sales teams to look at testing your existing app that runs under Android Nougat (A7) on at least TC75X running Oreo.
If you need to test on Higher versions of Android - the TC77 platform running Oreo then upgrading to - Android 11, and then Android 13. May be strongly suggested such that you cna confirm if the Software you are working with on your very old Nougat Platform, will understand of you need to go back to your software provider to update / upgrade the Software running on your TC7x platforms.
A sudden jump from TC75X running Nougat (A7), to TC58 running Android 13 - may be too extreme a jump for the existing software you are working with.
Have you checked with the Software Vendor for the Software you run on TC75X for versions that run on - up-to-date Zebra devices?
This is an initial Android 13 GMS release for TC58 and TC78 family of products. https://developer.zebra.com/content/android-emulator-0retro bowl
It's generally not possible to run an Android 7 app directly on a device running Android 13 due to compatibility issues and changes in the Android operating system across different versions. However, you may be able to use compatibility modes or virtualization techniques to run older apps on newer Android versions, but it's not guaranteed to work perfectly or be supported by all apps. It's recommended to check with the app developer or Zebra support for any compatibility options or solutions specific to your device and app.But you did help me a bit by mentioning this https://developer.zebra.com/content/android-emulator-0sexdolltech, and I thank you very much for that.
