Steam Dropping Windows 7/8 Next Year

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.

Considering how long Steam supported Win7, I wouldn't worry.

FYI, whe thr time comes, the Win11 hardware restrictions are easily bypassed. I have pre Intel 7th Gen PCs, with or TPM, running Win11 just fine.
