is there an answer to this problem so i don't have to upgrade my computer

and have to go to all that trouble and ball ache.

i may have to upgrade to win 10 in january when i have the finances, right now i still have windows 7 and i would rather not upgrade at all as i like win 7.....but when i opened google chrome recently i got a message in the browser that

' ' to get google chrome updates in future you will have to update to windows 10 or later, this computers is using windows 7'.

so i'm worried i will have to upgrade to windows 10, but i'm hoping that i might not have to, that there's some way around this problem or i can carry on using the outdated version of google chrome?

I still have a laptop I bought from Wal-Mart yeeeaarrsss ago that has Windows 7 Home on it, and I mean, it works just fine.

I think I have Firefox installed on it for the browser.

Truthfully, I think these people are lazy. They'll support an OS for so long, and when a new one comes out, they can't be bothered to support the old OS. Personally, I think it's stupid to not support the old OS.

It's like these people don't realize that were not all rich. I don't have anywhere near a million bucks just sitting around the house. I for one can't afford a new computer. If this computer were to die tomorrow, I'm literally screwed. If my phone gets damaged, I'm screwed. Like seriously, I make money but it almost is all going elsewhere. I can't afford anything right now.

Screw these huge corporations. They've only got billions of dollars, why can't they fork out $1,200 for a computer for someone who needs it??

You can keep using the outdated versions of Chrome, however, keep in mind that there is some vulnerability risk without upgrading Chrome, or going to W10 or 11.

@BrewCityBarfly thanks for your thoughts.

Just stop using Google Chrome. Try Firefox or Vivaldi, they work on Win7 and later. They also work on 32 bit systems.
