windows xp support

i ask for the manager of steam to bring back xp support to steam i use windows xp for older games and windows 7 newer games

Not gonna happen. Microsoft dropped Windows XP support years ago. No one should use that outdated OS anymore.
And generally it's no big issue running older games on newer systems, including Windows 10.
Haven't found a title yet that does not work on mine. Including games from before 2000.

That's their statement, it wont change. Also Most older games run on windows 7 and above with minimal issue.

Thanks. I gave up on this in 2011 and never kept up on it.

You know Windows 7 runs older games just fine right? SOmetimes better than xp.

You're on a user forum, you won't get a manager here. Or at least not one from Valve.

You might as well ask for windows 3.11 support, XP is dead, time to move on.

There is actually a case to be made for 3.11 support. Many 3.11 native games do not function well on newer OSes, or at all.

Though strangely the easiest fix is to install windows 3.11 in dosbox and play it that way.

[Cathulhu]

I doubt any 3.11 game was ever sold on Steam.
And no, Windows 3.11 games won't work on DOSBox, unless they have a DOS version as well.

That's not what Start is saying. Start is saying to install Win 3.11 in Dosbox and then play the games. Which is a known way to play Win 3.11 games.

Yup. DosBox emulates enough of DOs to actually run windows 3.11

WindowsXP support won't be coming back and I have no problems using compatibility mode to run XP titles on Win7.
