>who cares about the warning if its extremely inconvenient.

1. you're not mandated to use Windows 10/11. you can use Mac or Linux

2. Windows 7 got its last security update almost 4 years ago. This isn't even about Steam at this point; more and more software will be incompatible and you're more and more vulnerable to breaches as you use that OS. You should probably change to something receiving updates. I don't particular care what.

>Tell you what, I'm going to format your computer on Jan 1.

I didn't know now being able to get security updates from a 3rd party application equated to formating your hard drive. Should probably fix that since you're 4 years out of date with Windows 7.

There is no world in which supporting an operating system for 14 years, 8 years past the support of the vendor, can be described as “extremely inconvenient”. Again, they are not deleting anything off of your computer so your snark about wiping my machine is disingenuous and irrelevant.
