Google Chrome will stop supporting these Windows systems in the following year.

According to Google, Chrome support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 will stop in the first quarter of 2023. Chrome 110 will be the final version to support these two outdated Microsoft Windows versions, according to a Google support website. On February 7, 2023, Google Chrome version 110 is anticipated to become live. The choice is consistent with Microsoft's earlier choice to stop providing support for Windows 8.1 extended and Windows 7 ESU on January 10, 2023.

"We'll formally stop support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 with the release of Chrome 110, which is tentatively slated for February 7th, 2023. To continue getting future Chrome versions, make sure your device is running Windows 10 or later, advises Google on its help website.

According to the support website, Chrome will continue to function on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 beyond version 110. They won't be qualified for any next upgrade versions, though. The page advises users who are presently using Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 to upgrade to a compatible Windows version before that date in order to continue receiving Chrome's security updates and new features.

On January 10, 2023, Microsoft will stop providing updates for Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 ESU (Extended Security Update). Computers running Windows 8.1 will continue to work, according to the Microsoft FAQ website, but no technical help will be provided. Users using Windows 8.1, according to the business, will not be eligible for ESUs but will be able to upgrade to a newer OS. "While you might keep using a PC running Windows 8.1, your PC would be more vulnerable to malware and viruses if you stop receiving software and security updates. We advise updating to a current supported version of Windows. The switch to a new device that can run Windows 11 is simple and fantastic experience, according to Microsoft's FAQ website.
