NVIDIA is dropping support for Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 drivers starting in October 2021. They will only provide new features, bug fixes, or performance enhancements to Game Ready Drivers for Windows 10. Windows 7 and 8 will no longer receive security updates through September 2024. Users running Windows 7 or later can still upgrade to Windows 10 for free using a digital license if it’s critical that they continue to receive the latest driver updates and improvements. According to the Steam May 2021 Hardware & Software survey, only 2.13% of users continue to use Windows 7.
