Effective 1 January 2024 the Steam client will no longer be able to run on any version of windows older than an update to date copy of Windows 10
The reason for these changes is because Steam uses parts of Google chrome to run and Google will stop doing support and giving security updates for old versions of Windows.
An out of date Windows 10 is also not compatible; effective 1 January if you have Windows 10 you must be on the newest version with all security updates applied otherwise Steam will not run either
