Are you one of the 53% of Steam gamers still using Windows 10, wondering what Microsoft’s end of support on October 14, 2025, means for your gaming future? In this video, we dive deep into the massive shift happening in the gaming world as Microsoft officially terminates free security updates for Windows 10, leaving over half of Steam users—tracked in February 2025 stats—on a ticking clock. With Valve ending Steam support for Windows 7 and 8 in January 2024, and Windows 10’s 50% user base still strong despite a 10% drop by March 2025, gamers face a dilemma: upgrade to Windows 11, buy a new PC, pay $30/year for extended Windows 10 security updates until 2026, switch to Linux or SteamOS, or risk running an unsupported OS. Microsoft’s strict Windows 11 requirements—like TPM 2.0 and 8th-gen CPUs—lock out many PCs, frustrating gamers who can’t or won’t upgrade, especially with features like Copilot turning some away. We explore why so many stick with Windows 10, what Valve might do as Steam’s role evolves post-support, and real gamer reactions—from Linux converts to die-hard Windows 10 holdouts. Whether you’re eyeing hardware upgrades, debating SteamOS, or curious about Windows 10’s fate, this video breaks down your options before the October 2025 deadline.
