Valve please save the steam games library in windows 7

1) Maybe create a steam light launcher for older operating systems?

2) Keep the ability to run the game and download to the library in Windows 7

Thank you

The Age of the OS is less the Issue and more MS's marketing and product strategy. Everytime they need a cash infusion they just can support for one version and release a new version thats just the previous version with a new coat of paint.

That's pretty cynical. And you're free to believe whatever oversimplified fantasies you want.

Software gets old. Support ends. That has consequences. Upgrade or live with the consequences. That's pretty standard industry-wide. Yeah, MS makes the decisions about their software, in other news, water is wet.

It's not really a fantasy. Every IT person I've spoken to has said pretty much the same thing.
There's nothing inherent in W10 that actually required a brand new OS. Nothing in 10 that couldn't have simply been patched into 7.

Same for w11. it was basically ms deciding to pretty much just larbitarily lock features away. You know like how their various versions arbitarily limit the amount of ram windows can see and use.

Remember when they boasted that W10 would be the Last OS they do because they;d just jkeep updating it.

I remember thinking, "forever is a long time". And decided to wait and see what was actually going to happen. So I'm not shocked or scandalized an obviously poorly thought out marketing strategy didn't quite work out the way it was presented.

OOh it was well thought out the simple truth is, it boils down to money. MS wants money, and so they will always be a next version of windows.

Let's put it another way. If MS of the past had the same thinking as they do now. Windows XP sp3 wouldn'ty have gotten SP3. They have just sold us WinXP2

We wouldn't have gotten 98SE. We'd have been sold Windows 99.

Then honestly, you spoke to fools in IT. IT is a very very broad spectrum, and being in IT doesn't mean you know code and programming as in depth as an operating system. I'm in IT, and I don't know the ins and outs. My field is totally the opposite and instead the deployment and upkeep and maintenance of said operating systems. But I can tell you one thing, there are major differences between the enterprise versions.

Also, Windows 10 did have service packs. They just didn't use that naming.
1507
1511
1607
1703
1709
1803
1809
1903
1909
2004
20H2
21H1
21H2
22H2
There you are. All the Windows 10 revisions. Major ones being 1809-1903. And 2004 to 21H2.

Just because they don't use Service Pack in the naming, doesn't mean it didn't happen. They also each have their own Mainstream and Extended Support end times, due to the differences of each build.

PS. 99% of IT does not know the extremely complex and advanced programming needed to develop or build or truly understand how deep an operating system works. Takes many years of complicated programming, that even advanced software engineers within computer sciences struggle with.

Companies should distance themselves from google entirely.

You've mistaken Chrome and Chromium (and it's framework).
The first is a Google product. The latter is an opensource project.
