Previously, Google had already decided to end Chrome’s support for Windows 7 on July 15, 2021, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. The sudden COVID-19 caused Google to extend its death time to January 15, 2022. Now Google has once again proposed an extension to give you more time to prepare for the future.
Chrome browser support for Windows 7 is extended for another year until January 2023
Based on the original deadline, Google decided to extend the Chrome browser’s support for Windows 7 for another year, so it can continue to support until January 15, 2023. This part and Microsoft’s own proposal of Windows 7 business version support until 2023 The January deadline coincides, when Windows 7 will lose Chrome support as well as Microsoft’s own support.
In addition, Microsoft Edge will stop supporting Windows 7 on January 15, 2023, and IE 11 will also withdraw from support for all operating system versions starting on June 15, 2022, not only for Windows 7. .
