Seconded.

Last time we delivered a WinXP app to our industrial customers was 15 
years ago. Since then they *all* migrated to Win7 which is our targeted 
version for at least 10 years. These days, *none* of our customers is on 
Win7 anymore, Win10 is their minimum requirement, even asking for Win11 
support.
