That will be from January 1, 2024, so the change must be as soon as possible. But are there really players who continue to use these systems with this service?
Even if you don't believe it, it is, although in reality they are very few. According to a report of the 30 million players on this platform, 0.69% do so from MS Windows 7 64-bit.
We recommend: Steam resorts to Chan Censorship and blocks the launch of a game with suggestive Chinese monkeys.
Of the aforementioned, 0.16% do so from MS Windows 8.1. As you can see, it is a minority that has its reasons why it has not updated to a more advanced operating system.
But as with other companies, there cannot be indefinite support; things have to improve.
In your statement Valve says that after the date mentioned above '[…]the Steam client will not run on those versions of Windows'.
To the above, add 'to continue using Steam and any games or products purchased through it, users will need to upgrade to a newer version of Windows'.
Now, why is this happening? It's not just because Microsoft stopped releasing new security updates.
According to Valve 'This change is necessary as core Steam features depend on the built-in version of Google Chrome, which no longer works on older versions of Windows'.
But it also emphasizes 'additionally, future versions of Steam will require security updates and Windows features that are only present from Windows 10 and later'. So it is inevitable.
