Yeah to say win 10 is going to die in 2025 is a bit silly as that's not how it works.

It tends to run on viability and usage. Not time. MS and everyone else don't go "ooh, x years are up time to stop support for this".

I wish these people who spout this would understand WHY this is happening and always happens. It's because of bsuiness and viability.

In other words, when you reach a point where a tiny number of public users use the OS AND the work needed to keep it secure and updated become unreasonable, then it's time to end.

It's also why business and organizations like hosiptals will continue to get support - because they're requiring the support and there's more of them still using it for their systems.

Speaking of those im shocked Google is even dropping support for W7 and W8. Most hospitals and government(as well as a lot of corporate) dont keep their individual workstations updated like that. they basically only wait until the thing breaks and upgrade in bulk. So chrome being dropped will have a serious effect on long-term viability of google services far as I can tell. I cant imagine the local hospitals gonna go get a new OS for their system to keep Google Chrome updated...

That's because you're misunderstanding how it works.

Many organizations do indeed use the older OSes for the simple fact that their equipment needs to operate with it. Hospitals aren't going to go out and buy muklti million pound bits of new equipment just because the OS updated.

They will STILL get that support - that's been stated.

But accessing the internet and the "regular" stuff has nothing to do with it. Those that need to - like secretaries and office admin workers simply use the modern OSes. That's the point.

Found a bypass (Don't tell Gabe :gaben:):

Add the following lines to steam.cfg:

BootStrapperInhibitAll=enable
BootStrapperForceSelfUpdate=disable

I'll join the class action to bring back 7 support tho, lmk

there will be no class action because its pointless and will be denied in the courts

I'm waiting for someone to say the oft-stated claim by these people who are ignorant:
"I know my rights" (they don't).

I don't know why this is so hard to grasp. You stand ZERO chance of any legal case when you've agreed to terms then want to change them afterwards. Doesn't matter whterh you read them.

Win10 isn't that bad, you can just turn off telemetry and some services without any issues.

Win10 is one of the worst things to come out of Micro$loth in a long time. Win 95, Win 98, XP, and 7, all improved on user experience. Win10 was a massive step back for privacy, consumer rights, interface, security, etc etc. Even their bloatware alone should have been enough for people to drop Win10 into the dust bin. Forced CandyCrush install on a Pro version, really? Sadly MS has a stranglehold on the industry.

None of this is true.

Also, planned obsolescence is BS.

A and B are 100% true. Windows 7 to 11 requires the 2nd generation security module however yes, Windows 10 does not, and indeed its free: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

Except again I've that question for evidence several times on here, and little has come forth. It just all seems hyperbole.

All I can tell you is that from personal experience it's quite the opposite.

I repeat that I have a load of audio gear - synths, drum machines, mixers, FX units, and so on - all of various ages, so with various version of USB etc. I also have both physical games, and many hundreds of PC games on Steam.

Back on Windows 7, I had about 15% of games that either didn't work at all or worked badly. A lot of my gear didn't work either - one mixer for example will only work in mono for some reason. Others will simply not register at all despite them being detected.

But under Windows 10 ALL work. And of the 900 games I have on Steam now, I've tried about 500 and all except ONE work.


So no, Windows 10 tends to work better for me by a country mile.

Nope 1 is most certainly true. I've already presetned evidence of this above several times.

Oh no dual boot scary!

Oh no using another OS that isn't windows 7 is scary, and someone coming after me personally out of millions of people lol.

Why are there threads like this?

[IronKoalas]

This has to be a bait/troll thread since there is no way someone would want to use a 14 year old operating system to play games on. Ether upgrade to Windows 10/11, buy a new PC, or install a Linux distribution.

Also, do you really think Valve cares about Windows 7. Your Windows 7 64 bit people only have 0.69% of the market share which is barely anything compared to Windows 10/11 market share. Also, as others stated, CEF (Chrome Embedded Framework) no longer supports Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, so you will need to upgrade to get the latest and greatest version of Steam. I get it change is so hard... not really.
