    Revert "; Bump minimum supported Windows version for MinGW64 to Windows 10."
    
    This reverts commit 75155e458601a3597d382660d0be863ab4d512c0.
    Evidently, some MSYS2/MinGW64 folks still think Windows 8.1
    is the minimum supported version, even though MinGW-w64 switched
    to Windows 10 as the default target in January 2022.
