If you use DOSbox, which is a DOS emulator, then yes.
Instructions are in the sticky :)

I'm on my phone so I cant send a link but I downloaded Daggerfall XL. It's upgraded with fixes and runs perfectly on my windows 7 laptop. No dosbox needed.

It doesn't really run "perfectly" as it's still missing a lot of gameplay mechanics. DOSBox is still the way to go, which works fine with Windows 7.

Which gameplay mechanics? Not being smart, I'm honestly curious.

Being currently version 0.198, you can bet Daggerfall XL is far from complete.
Just look at the next version's description:
In Progress Now
Working on Version 0.20 Features starting with "Leveling".

In my opinion, a lack of leveling is a pretty big missing gameplay mechanic. Looking a bit further, it seems bows don't work yet either.
Honestly, for a Pre-Alpha version it would be quicker to list the things that do work rather than the missing ones.
