There is lots of popular consumer software that no longer runs on Windows 7.

Steam stopped working this year, forcing me to consider updating to Windows 10... but still hasn't happened, yet.

Last I checked (a month or 2 ago), Steam still works on Windows 7, but is unsupported.

You can basically keep using the last supported version of Steam, but it will eventually break.

However few if any new games support the old operating system at all. Windows 7 is a complete non-starter in 2024, it's too old.
