On a support page that revealed the news, Google suggested upgrading to Windows 10 or Windows 11 to keep getting Chrome updates. You'll still be able to use older versions of Chrome on Windows 7 and 8.1, but you'll no longer be able to install newer builds, which will include new features and security updates.
Chrome 110, which is scheduled for release on February 7th, will not work on either of the operating systems. Google has announced it will end Chrome support on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 early next year.
