TL;DR Summary

Valve has announced that it will end support for Steam on Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 from January 1, 2024. Users on these older versions of Windows will need to upgrade to Windows 10 or Windows 11 to continue using the service. The change is due to the sunsetting of support for Chrome on older Windows versions, which is required for the Steam client. Only 2% of users are potentially affected by this change, according to Valve's Steam survey.
