Steam no longer supporting Windows 7 or 8

[phil bottle 9,761]

Not sure if it's an issue with anyone here, I moved to 10 years ago.... but just in case, as over a million accounts may lose access to Steam next year.

 

“As of January 1 2024, Steam will officially stop supporting the Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 operating systems. After that date, the Steam Client will no longer run on those versions of Windows. In order to continue running Steam and any games or other products purchased through Steam, users will need to update to a more recent version of Windows.

I'm still using Windows 98😎

 

People really need to upgrade especially for security reasons. This is why I wouldn't turn my nose up at a free Windows update. I was a bit apprehensive going from 7 to 10 initially but it had to be done and it being free was a bonus. Can't stay locked to obsolete operating systems forever especially from a security standpoint.

Yeah I'm the same, Windows 7 was sweet for gaming and yet still zero reason to miss the free upgrade to 10.

Ironically I did have a Windows 98 machine until a couple of years back, some of the MS-DOS games worked best on there whilst modern systems sometimes require some effort to get things to run ^_^

 

But yeah you guy's should be on Windows 11 now, what the heck are you doing? 😛
