Google Chrome to stop working on these computers
Google will stop supporting older versions of Chrome compatible with Windows OS 7 and 8.1. Users are advised to update their system operating system to avoid malware risks, security threats and other security vulnerabilities.
Google is set to release its Chrome 110 this year, tentatively on February 7, 2023. And with the new release, the search giant will drop support for older versions of Chrome. According to Google's support page, Chrome 109 is the final version of Chrome that supports two previous operating systems from Microsoft: Windows 7 and 8.1.
Google will stop supporting older versions of Chrome on January 15, 2023. Therefore, the newest version of Chrome: Chrome 110, will be the first version of Chrome that needs Windows 10 or later. Users can use the older Chrome version on Windows 7 and 8.1 but won't get newer updates, including security fixes. "Chrome 109 is the last version of Chrome that will support Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1. Chrome 110 (tentatively scheduled for release on February 7th, 2023) is the first version of Chrome that requires Windows 10 or later," Google announced. in his blog post early last year.
According to the search giant, users will need to upgrade their systems to the Windows 10 or 11 operating system to continue using its cross-platform Chrome web browser. "You'll need to ensure your device is running Windows 10 or later to continue receiving future Chrome releases. This matches Microsoft's end of support for Windows 7 ESU and Windows 8.1 extended support on January 10th, 2023," the blog post's announcement.
Significantly, older versions of Chrome will continue to work but will no longer receive updates for users of these operating systems: Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1. Users are recommended to update the latest Windows, as security updates are important to the operating system. Google planned to release the updated Chrome 110 in July 2021, but the company postponed the release due to a pandemic.
