I will celebrate the time windows 7 is gone

Because I won’t have to see them posting and whining

The fact that Windows 7 users can not use the Steam Client doesn't stop them from participating on steamcommunity.com

That's rather a rude thing to say to an operating system. Windows 7 was one of the best operating systems, but right now It's ancient and I miss it.

I have already understood that some people choose not to upgrade to Windows 10 and plus, did you forgot that steam will no longer receive updates on Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 instead of actually stop running?

STEAM SUPPORT
We expect the Steam client and games on these older operating systems to continue running for some time without updates after January 1st, 2024, but we are unable to guarantee continued functionality after that date.

It must be newly added because there was no such information back in December.
The following message is still present on all Store games though:
* Starting January 1st, 2024, the Steam Client will only support Windows 10 and later versions.

Just let Windows 7 go already! It was an amazing OS, but as time goes on, old OS's lose support for newer ones. That's life in the tech world.

This is coming from someone who also used Windows 7 and enjoyed it.

Well I am still on Windows 10 v1909 b18363 and won't ever update to the newer b19xxx builds nor upgrade to Windows 11.

I might downgrade soon though to Windows 10 v1809-RS5 LTSC build 17763 which will have Microsoft support up until the year 2029.

Windows 7 was supported up until January 2020.

The message was like before december. However i noticed they didn't update the translations so only original US English version mentions steam not recieving updates and client continuing to work for some time.

While for example when i switch to my native language (Polish) it just says flatout that Steam will stop working on Windows 7 and i need to update. No mention of updates or "continuing to work for some time"

Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 doesn't force you to upgrade to Windows 11 and you can keep using it until 2027 (non-IoT) or 2032 (IoT)
