So Microsoft has been pushing hard for everyone to use Windows 10/11 if we want to run Edge, but I keep seeing tricks and guides online about getting the newer Edge Chromium browser to work on Windows 7. I get that support officially ended in 2023, but… what’s the real story here?
Are there actually practical reasons (besides security lectures) to not run Edge on Win7 if you can get it working? Has anyone actually done this long-term without weird breakages or missing features? Or is this another one of those scare tactics to force upgrades, even if the software technically works?
Would love to hear from anyone who’s actually running Edge Chromium on Windows 7 daily, especially if there are specific gotchas or misleading claims in these so-called “unsupported” setups. Let’s cut through the FUD.
