Steam Dropping Windows 7/8 Next Year [Mar 28, 2023, 11:59 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Valve
announces that at the start of next year, Steam will discontinue support
for Windows 7 and Windows 8:
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.
The newest features in Steam rely on an embedded version of Google Chrome, which no longer functions on older versions of Windows. In addition, future versions of Steam will require Windows feature and security updates only present in Windows 10 and above.

As a Windows 10 user whose PC isn't allowed to run Windows 11 because of TPM versions or whatever
Microsoft has rolled back the TPM requirement for most hardware that meets the rest of the required specs.
Mine has no TPM and Windows 11 installed just fine on it, it's never complained about it (B550 mobo / 3700x processor). How old is your motherboard/processor?
