Microsoft has shown old-fashioned aggression in trying to get Windows 10 users to adopt its new browser. Now, even Windows 7 users are finding it a little much.

Microsoft has published a blog post with details about the upcoming end of support for Edge on consumer and server versions of Windows 7, 8, 8.1. The company will pull the plug on January 10, 2023.

The latest Microsoft Edge 107 update is only available on Windows 10 and 11. However, Microsoft has also prepared a small browser update for those still using Windows 7, 8, and 8.1.

Microsoft's Chromium-based Edge browser was an improvement over the initial version of Edge in many ways, including its support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Following in the footsteps of Chrome, Microsoft will end support for Edge on older versions of Windows.

Microsoft will continue to support the new Microsoft Edge in Windows 7 even after the operating system reaches the end of life tomorrow.

Microsoft launched Edge based on Google's Chromium open source project for Windows 7, Windows 10, and macOS. This is Edge 79 stable.

Starting on June 17th, 2020, Microsoft has begun to roll out the KB4567409 update for Windows 7 that installs the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser.
