It is worth noting that the stable releases of Microsoft Edge, Chrome, and other Chromium-based browsers still support Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 ( Chrome is already nagging its customers to update to Windows 10 or 11). The latest Microsoft Edge Dev release is now available only to Windows 10 and 11 users. Now this perk is approaching its end as Microsoft prepares to pull the plug on Edge support for Windows versions released before 2015. In 2020, when launching the Chromium-based Edge, Microsoft surprised everybody by offering support for older and even out-of-date operating systems, such as Windows 7, 8, and 8.1.
