Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 support will end later this year, meaning nearly half of Steam users should probably upgrade.

        I’m certain there would be a pile of unpatched vulnerabilities with windows 7.

        I would not recommend it.

        I still use it on my living room PC to this day. No issues so far (steam still works fine as well).

        Just like anything make sure you have backups and watch your accounts.

          They’re right though. 8.1 had the best of both 7 and 10, with none of the bloat. Only reason why I stopped using it was because I was forced to because literally no one supported it. Which is a damn shame cause it was considerably better than 7. Just got a bad rep because of 8.0.
