How to remove the note “This computer is using Windows 7” from Google browser

Topic

New Reply

Recently Susan Bradley, in one of her columns, posted information on how to permanently remove, from a Windows 7 computer, the note now showing on the Google Chrome browser, which says: ‘To get future Google Chrome updates, you’ll need Windows 10 or later. This computer is using Windows 7:.

I have done a search through these forums, as well as her recent newsletters, and cannot find anything about this topic. Can someone direct me to where I might find how she suggested to do it?

See Chrome and Brave EoS warnings for Win7/8.1

If you save the quoted text as a .reg file, you can double-click that to import it to your registry; then restart Chrome.

(But you’ll see there that it was not recommended by Susan.)

Windows 11 Pro version 22H2 build 22621.2361 + Microsoft 365 + Edge

A much better solution (and to avoid enabling the “Managed by your organization” policy) is to use the “–test-type=ui” flag

Can you provide more information on how to do that! I did a search for “–test-type=ui” flag, but didn’t come up with anything that I could understand.
