This is due to Google’s intention to stop technical and security support for the browser running on Windows 7.
Initially, the corporation had the intention of ending support on July 15th, 2021. However, because of the widespread COVID-19 outbreak, Google decided to push back the deadline, initially to January 15, 2022, and then again to January 10, 2023. Users who are still on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 will no longer be eligible for security updates or technical support from Microsoft.
The business has stated that outdated versions of the Windows operating system would no longer receive security or software patches after January 10th.

In addition, if you are running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 at the moment, we strongly recommend that you upgrade to a version of Windows that is supported by Chrome in order to guarantee that you will continue to get the most recent Chrome features and security updates.
