Steam has now officially stopped supporting Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1.::95.57 percent of surveyed Steam users are already on Windows 10 and 11, with nearly 2 percent of the remainder on Linux and 1.5 percent on Mac — so we may be talking about fewer than 1 percent of users on these older Windows builds. Older versions of MacOS will also lose support on February 15th, just a month and a half from now. Correction: It's macOS 10.13 and 10.14 that are losing support. Not macOS period.

No big. Just run everything in compatibility mode and pick Windows 10 or 11.

Pro tip, set it to Windows 12 so you don't have to worry for another decade or more

Please, that's rookie terms.

Set it to 98, you won't have to worry about it again for like, a century.

Get this set it to 2000, not even your great grand kids will have to worry about it.

Surely NT (No Time) would be better?
