Thousands of users will have to update Windows to be able to access Chrome

Technology, in fact, has been accelerating at an astonishing rate. Recently, Google announced that the most updated version of Google Chrome will no longer be available for Windows 7 or Windows 8 operating systems. In this way, several users will be forced to update their computers, as those not updated will be more vulnerable to bugs and cyber attacks.

Why won't Windows 7 and Windows 8 systems support the Chrome update?

Unsurprisingly, Chrome is constantly being updated for new features and vital patches released. These updates serve to fix the “zero flaws”, as this is where hackers actively exploit.

Due to the various Chrome updates, there are Windows versions that no longer support the system. Therefore, Google recently said that, for the new Chrome 10, Windows 10 or higher must be installed on computers.

And now, what to do?

From now on, everyone who wants to take advantage of the update will have to change their software to the

Windows 11. However, for some it won't be that simple. This is because old notebooks will most likely not support the new operation, so users will have to purchase another machine.

However, thousands of people will still be able to remain calm. That's because Google said that older versions of Chrome will continue to be available, but there will be more updates for them.

For people looking to move to Windows 11, what do you need to know?

If you are one of the people who want to update Windows to then have access to the new Chrome system, it is need to check that your computer is compatible and includes fast enough processing and something called a TPM 2.0.

For those of you who don't know what it means, TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is a security feature built into the hardware that you'll only find on newer devices.
