I still see computers in Windows 7. The only people throwing computers out would be large corpos. And the ones in question are already on their way out as they're 5+ years old at this point. (1st Gen ryzen & pre-9th Gen Intel core i)

My living room PC drives my TV projectos and runs Win7. It will continue to do so forever.

Alas, Steam says it will stop working on 01.01.2024 ๐Ÿ˜ก big bummer.
