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.

I have an old Dell Intel Quad core Q8400 sitting on the shelf as a charity PC, with 4GB ram and a well used 128GB SSD, and it's running Win11 as fast as a greased pig.

Are greased pigs faster than ungreased pigs?

No. Just harder to catch.
