How about considering Windows 7 still reliable operating system

[Felp'Child]

Despite being released over a decade ago, Windows 7 remains a popular operating system among computer users. In fact, according to recent statistics, Windows 7 is still being used by more people than Windows 10. There are several reasons why this might be the case.

One reason is that many people find the user interface of Windows 7 to be more familiar and user-friendly than the UI of Windows 10. Windows 7 features a classic Start menu and taskbar, which many users prefer over the tile-based interface of Windows 10.

Another reason why Windows 7 remains popular is that it is generally considered to be a more stable and reliable operating system. This is especially true for users who are running older hardware, as Windows 7 tends to run more smoothly on older machines than Windows 10.

Despite this, there are some key differences between the system requirements of Windows 7 and Windows 10 that users should be aware of. First and foremost, Windows 10 requires a more powerful computer than Windows 7, particularly in terms of CPU, RAM, and hard drive space. Windows 10 requires a modern processor with at least two cores, at least 4 GB of RAM, and at least 64 GB of storage space.

In comparison, Windows 7 has much lower system requirements, and can run on older hardware with as little as 1 GB of RAM and a single-core processor. This means that if you are using an older computer, or have limited resources, you may find that Windows 7 performs better than Windows 10.

Ultimately, the choice between Windows 7 and Windows 10 comes down to personal preference. While Windows 7 may be more familiar and stable for some users, Windows 10 offers a range of new features and improvements that can make it a better choice for others.

Hello
yes on the client but no one want to change that i think.
At least none of the actual w7 user ; why would you us to ask valve to change something working

You don't have to change from something that's working.

You can stay in Win7 and just make the choice of not using the Steam client.

I was thinking of using 10 but with the quality of games coming out it's much easier to dump steam.

That is a complete fabrication. Where exactly did you get these "statistics" from. Windows 7 is under 2% of the market share at the moment and dropping rapidly.

They are updating the backend. The Steam client is a glorified webbrowser. Windows 7 lacks the required components to properly work with it.

As was told in other topics Firefox will continue working on Win7 and is even not dependant on system security.
It is funny how many Win10 text warriors come here to defend something that can be easy replaced by other backend with precise people that work in industry.
Something that has nothing to do with actual games as they will continue to work on Win7.
Half-life 2 will still work on WIn7. :)

VALVe in multiBillion company that can hire even kernel programmers and code even own bank system for any OS they want.

As already mentioned in another thread Firefox is dropping support for Windows 7 in 2024 as well after support for 115 ends.

Hello

Yes no more update also but it will still be perfectly usable after.

Yep, but two totally different types of software. A browser doesn't need to connect to a secure backend like steam does, authenticate your games, etc.

Sadly people keep ignoring that this scenario has happened on steam already over 5 times and keep acting surprised every time it happens again. Windows 7 is a dead OS with under 2% of the userbase using it, and is nearly 15 years old.

Even its manufacturer are telling people to stop using it. So people will have to stop using antiquated software or live with the consequences

Only thanks to some legacy software used in gov. administrations that hasn't been updated.

Also ABMs. and cashier POS terminals.

OP the issue isn;t a matter of reliability bu capability and Windows 7just lacks the capability Valve requires going forward.

"Reliable" ?

Really?


600 vulnerabilities since wn7 went EOL. That means none of them have been fixed or will be fixed.

Your OS has more holes than swiss cheese.

Why are you refusing to post where these supposed statistics are?

Origineel geplaatst door OSHI NO KO :

In fact, according to recent statistics, Windows 7 is still being used by more people than Windows 10.

Your claiming its widely used, when its not. So its not that important as the amount of users using Windows 7 is so small as to be insignificant. If there are truly more users using Windows 7 then 10 that drastically changes thing, so please cite your source for your claim.

I have some bad news but personal
...nothing do with you

Ok.....

So how about that link to those statistics?

Please cite your recent statistics, I checked and your claim does not appear to be correct. It appears windows 7 userbase is under 2%, FAR FAR FAR below that of windows 10 and its dropping FAST.

Hello

All i can suggest would be to setup any virtual tool like virtualbox or qemu and download some official microsoft iso or any linux or linux distro and test these os throught a virtual machine first.
