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.

Launching 8 for the first time was almost as bad as time I first experienced vista, so I can understand there being fewer 8 users.

WTF is Windows 8.1?

[–] ShunkW@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Windows 8.1 was a major update that undid a lot of UI updates that people didn't like after 7

I had already uninstalled and replaced it with 7.
