Google Chrome Will No Longer Run On Windows Systems Starting Next Week: Here Is Why.

 Chrome 109, according to Google, will be the final version update that will continue to support Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1.

Chrome 110, the company's new version, will be released on February 7. However, the update will be available only on PCs running Windows 10 or later.

According to Google, in order to continue receiving future Chrome updates, your device must be running Windows 10 up.

There will be no new or further upgrades for people still use older systems, though previous Chrome-running devices will remain functional.

Google recommended Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 users to upgrade to a supported Windows version in order to continue receiving Chrome's security updates and new features.

Google's warning came as a result of Microsoft's decision to discontinue security updates and technical support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 on January 10.

WebView2 updates, which allow programmers to incorporate web content into their programs, will also stop on January 10.

According to a recent Microsoft statement, the Edge web browser will no longer get security updates or bug patches after January 10th.

Previous articles have warned about the security risks of using an out-of-date operating system and browser.

Similarly, Google is working on a new feature that would allow users to resume media playback while on the go across many devices. The new media playback update, which includes cross-device notification, was intended to improve consumers' listening experiences.

The cross-device notification, according to experts, would allow consumers to resume listening to media contents, such as a playlist or a podcast, that they were listening to in their vehicle, phone, or TV later.
