Steam no longer supports Windows 7, 8, and 8.1::Customers sticking to the good-old (and dead) Windows 7 now have one more reason to ditch the operating system: as of January 1, 2024, Steam no longer supports Windows 7, 8, and 8.1.

I bet, we don't find a single Windows 8 user who uses Steam on that system. Similar applies to Win7.

Not anymore since it no longer works.

I was still using Steam on Windows 7 as late as last month. Losing access to Steam was one motivation to finally upgrade my computer.

Why not switch to Linux? There is several ones which works well with steam

That's actually just what I did. New PC runs Manjaro Linux. So far all the games I've thrown at it work just fine.

Maybe I should have done that with the old PC, but I'm lazy and Windows 7 was working well enough.
