They had to drop support because the chromium steam uses to display the store and many other things dropped support for those OS, so their hand was forced to fix security holes. I suspect a similar situation here - as long as the browser supports it, they will keep support for win10 alive.
They dropped 7, 8, and 8.1 at the same time, January 1st 2024
the actual ‘end of service’ dates for win7 (with the max 3 years esu) and 8/8.1 all occurred during the first half of 2023… so they gave a whole six months of extra life on those versions.
Is there an official statement how long Steam will support and run on Windows 10?
I think they supported Windows 7 just until it became too much of a burden to do so. They dropped 7, 8, and 8.1 at the same time, January 1st 2024

it’s very surprising to me that the end of win7 was so close to win10’s end lol
