can we still play L4D2 Still After Windows 10 End Support in 2025 10th October?

[someguy]

ive used windows 11 which did meet my minimum requierments but its still So Slow and So bad on my 4GB laptop with an 1TB HDD and in couple weeks ago i switched back to Windows 10 and saw a huge FPS Peformance on l4d2 and on the OS System itself.

My Point is, i dont want to switch to windows 11 and i cant Switch to linux because i dont know any coding and im too lazy that i accidentally deleted a file that my Laptop didn't had any bootable file to boot up the system.

I grew with Windows 7 Ultimate on a very old PC with a AMD graphics card and The OLD Steam UI.

However i hope steam and valve still Supports windows 10 by the end of the support in 2025 because i want to keep playing games and i Hope that games still works even after by the end of support of Windows 10 i would be Dissapointed if EVERY Games dosnt support windows 10 and that cant be boot up.

i know but im slowly starting to get worried because i dont want to use a Spyware and Bloatware System that is so slow to even load up chrome or any browser that consumes so much of my Ram for no reason..

then be prepared for Windows 24H2 because its going to become alot worser just like windows 8 but Much worser i mean Microsoft has been already critized for Making "Feature Update" that spy's their own screens

And im a Low end PC gamer i play at 50-60 frames which is a solid fps for me to play l4d2

But if i switch to windows 11 then no matter how many "Fixes" i tried to do nothing worked and it just made my laptop peformance even slower and worser with alot of Stutter on l4d2 and Lots of FPS drop.

Maybe its only for low end pc users or medium pc users who have this issues expect of High End PC users.

You might want Windows 11 LTSC then. Removes all the bloat that Microsoft offers and doesn't require secure boot/TPM.

It's not just the Bloatware problem but the Design and the peformance itself i even tried to right click on the screen and it took a Minute to open and the start button was slow aswell and i started to set Windows 11 settings to low and still no improvment i quite hate that microsoft really decided to turn windows 11 into a whole MAC design.....and in my opinion its...Weird.

it's just "End Of Life", of course every games still run on any windows with build 19045 and above

Valve would probably not block off Windows 10 so early. Windows 10 makes up roughly 67% of all Windows users, and Steam users mostly use Windows 10. I think it's safe to assume that nothing will happen, at least not any time soon. You may be worried because Steam just shut down Windows 7 access, and yes, that did happen. But Windows 7 had way fewer users and unfortunately ended support almost 4 years prior. It's all about those numbers and stats, and right now Windows 10 has the big numbers.

You've got until October 2025 (technically, probably won't end support until 2026 I suspect). So you should seek to try and save up to get a decent PC.

4GB just isn't cutting it in this day and age and frankly has been obsolete for half a decade now. RAM won't set you back much anyway, an 8GB stick is probably only like $15.
