I believe so, yes.  Last week I booted my old Windows 7 PC in order to
copy some games over to my new Windows 11 box, and I let Steam update
a few games and it worked fine.   I didn't do a complete install of any
games though.

Steam seems to still be working on my Win 7 machine. I installed a
game which also worked fine. It just isn't updating anymore. I am
guessing it will stop working entirely at some point.

Is Valve really going to block all gamers in older OSes? :(
