General

-------------------

Valve will end its support of Steam on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 in under 3 months, on 1/1/24, due in part to Chromium and its Embedded Framework also abandoning these platforms. Any future TF2 updates that moves the minimum Steam client version beyond the last one available for 7/8.1 will render it unplayable unless you upgrade Windows.
