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.

Windows 8 is over 10 years old and was EoL years ago. No distro is maintaining that level of support outside of corporate and even that's in the specialized more expensive custom contracts.

Nobody needs Steam's "support". They just need Steam to unlock their DRM for games that they have been playing for years and Steam has now broken.
