Google continues to extend Chrome browser support on Windows 7

However, due to the impact of the epidemic, Google will extend the support period until January 15, 2022.

Perhaps realizing that 2022 is not long enough, Google continues to extend Chrome Windows 7 support for another year. This means you can use Chrome on Windows 7 until January 15, 2023.

Currently, the Chrome browser supports the following Windows platforms:

• Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 or later
• Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2016
• Intel Pentium 4 or later processor with SSE3 support

Other Chromium-based browsers also extend Windows 7 support for another year. Mozilla also continued to support Firefox on Windows 7 but did not disclose an end date for support.

Microsoft stopped supporting the Home version of Windows 7 on January 14, 2020. Customers in the Business and Enterprise segments can purchase an Extended Security Update (ESU) plan to receive security updates for Windows 7 for an additional 3 years.

Microsoft's Microsoft Edge browser will also support Windows 7 until January 15, 2023. Meanwhile, Internet Explorer 11 browser will no longer support all platforms, including Windows 7, from January 15, 2022.

The schedule to end support for Windows 7 by both Microsoft, Google and other giants almost coincides with each other. The fact that the companies simultaneously extended support for Windows 7 shows that this operating system still has a lot of users.
