In a future release we're planning to increase the minimum supported Windows version to 10. The accepted proposal in compiler [MCP 651](https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/651) is that Rust 1.75 will be the last to officially support Windows 7, 8, and 8.1. When Rust 1.76 is released in February 2024, only Windows 10 and later will be supported as tier-1 targets. This change will apply both as a host compiler and as a compilation target.

**Update**: The planned increase to Windows' minimum support level has been delayed until Rust 1.78, due to be released in May 2024.
