Chrome 110 Final Version for Older OS Versions

Google has shared information about the last full version of the Google Chrome browser that will be released on older Windows operating systems. With Microsoft itself deciding to cut down support for Windows 7 and 8.1, it was only a matter of time before third-party software developers followed suit and did the same.

Google-Chrome-To-End-Windows-7-&-8.1-Support

The upcoming version of the Chrome Browser will be called Chrome 110 and will be the last version to get any software or security updates for these older Windows OS. It will be released on February 3rd of next year, around the same time that Windows has slated for ending support for Windows 8.1. This move was expected for quite some time, as they had already stopped supporting the Windows 7 OS two years ago.

Now both these legacy operating systems are even more vulnerable to attacks and obsoletion, as they won't have the latest information and updates to keep them safe. This is a big risk considering an approximate 100 million systems still run some version of these older Windows variants. It will take some time for them to change over to the new setup, even if Microsoft makes it free to install the newer versions of Windows for all.

This move marks a major change in the software industry, which has for a long time prided itself on its backwards compatibility and long-lasting software support, especially on the Windows side, where independent developers and cast-strapped users often stick to these older systems to keep their computing costs down. Let's just hope they are able to make the shift without much hassle, as the new software often requires a lot of new hardware to make it run smoothly.
