h4 should be the main idea in preparation for g4 and a forced capture, but the there is ...f5! causing trouble for white. the the best move is to block that pawn push first with 1. e5. That is the winning move..

e5 Kb4 white still wins by playing h4 -->g4 black can go the opposite board but gets stucked guarding the h4 pawn and white can gain time taking all pawn pushes from black. if the king moves then the whites pawn promotes.

white wont actually need to go after blacks pawns, just need to wait for their push because blacks king is in zugzwang

But black takes the pawn
And then h5 g3 h6 g2 Kf2
Dude!!! Not hxg4, but Kxc4! If gxh5 then black king can capture white pawns, even e5.

You need to show what happens if 7...b4 instead of e5.
what exactly is the next move by black after 7..b4 8.Kb3 ? Do you want to push your pawns slowly or alternately like 8..b7-b6 /..b7-b5 / ..e5 either ways white king will just wait there to snap the pawns you push, will not actively get to the pawns but wait til you push.
