Gaming with Windows and Steam (and probably with other launchers like Epic or EA) will almost always mean you will need the latest OS version (or Windows 10 at least on this case). It is similar to trying to play games with an ancient PC: you will not be able to play anything except retro games or abandonware.
You only have two options: update to Windows 10 at least (that's what I did, I hate both 11 and 10 but the latter is "less bad"), there is a way to install a version with official support until 2032 (IoT version). The regular version will only have updates until October 2025.
The second option is to install and play your games on Linux, but I can understand that this option is not for everyone and has several limitations (not compatible with every game on Steam, higher technical abilities, etc.).

already a work around to download those games. some such as The Mr. Rabbit Magic Show even advertise as working on 7. fucked up that steam would do something to prevent us from accessing games we paid for.

Yes, the game itself runs on Win7 but the downloads will always be managed by the Steam client and if the current version is not Windows 7 compatible you will probably have problems when trying to download certain games.

Solutions:
a) Use GOG instead of Steam
b) Use Linux instead of Windows
c) Update Windows
Never had an issue with downloads on either Windows 10 or 11 so far.

Just downloaded and started The Mr. Rabbit Magic Show on Windows 10 without any issues.

Given just how many things are now broken on Windows 7 I legit expect that at some point someone will show up at my door demanding me to upgrade my OS to something newer XD
But for real this might be a sign that the time has come to say goodbye to good old W7, although I dread the prospect of having to migrate all of the stuff to the new OS.

"We have reached out to Valve and they confirmed this issue seems to be related to (an older version of) the Steam client. We advice you to update your Steam client to see if that solves the issue."

Steam's support for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 ended in January 2024. This means that Steam will no longer receive updates, including security updates, and support for issues related to these older operating systems is no longer available. While games and the Steam client may continue to function for a while, Steam cannot guarantee continued functionality after that date.
To continue using Steam and your games, it is recommended to upgrade to a newer version of Windows. If you are still using Windows 7, you may be able to play games that don't require online features by setting Steam to offline mode.

thought i could try downloading files on my steam deck and move them over
it appears steam deck will no longer let me transfer downloaded files from my steam deck to my PC locally
can still move downloaded games from PC to steam deck locally thought
gave manually moving the files onto my pc a try and im unable to get them working
as it only seems to effect games i haven't already downloaded in the past. also gave playing it on steam deck to give it play time and attempting to download on pc a try

To explain further, we recently enabled a new compression algorithm which is vastly better-performing, and will enable faster downloads with much lower CPU load on clients. It will also improve unlock times for preloads for users on SSD (for spinning disks, the disk writes are the bottleneck). This was good just to save CPU load but it is also necessary for the faster (> 1Gbps) internet speeds people have in some places now, and it also really improves the experience on the Steam Deck.
New content coming in to Steam is now being compressed with this algorithm; existing content will not be converted. So if you're on an old client version for any of the reasons discussed here, there will still be many games in the catalog you can download and play (so long as they are not being updated, or if you can pin them to a particular build using branches supplied by the developer). Unfortunately we can't support having the data in both formats for new content.
