There are still many people who use Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system, many users have migrated to Windows 11. But there are still many who continue using Windows 7, Windows 8 and 8.1, users who will now be left without updates for the Steam gaming client from Valve. Valve will not issue any more updates for these versions, which will continue to be installed without support from the developer. As of January 1, 2024, Valve has stopped offering support and updates for these older versions of the Steam game client. You will not receive updates with new features, including critical security updates. The developer recommends updating to a more modern version of the operating system, such as Windows 10 or Windows 11, but this update sometimes also requires a hardware change. The reason Valve has stopped supporting these older systems is related to the integrated version of Google Chrome that includes Steam, which basically no longer works on Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. Since these versions of Windows are already years old and have stopped receiving updates from Microsoft, it is advisable to update to a more modern version with support so that you do not encounter this problem again in other types of software.
