Which versions of Windows does MSYS2 > support, Since about 1 week ago, the minimum requirement is Windows 8.1. Hardware requirements were also recently upgraded. A CPU from 2007 onwards should be fine: https://www.msys2.org/news/#2022-10-18-new-minimum-hardware-requirements-cpus-from-20067 > and which ones does MinGW64 support? AFAIK nothing changed for MinGW-w64. I don't know about their planning, though. > And if MinGW64 is about > to drop Windows versions older than 8.1 soon, when will that happen? See above. Please note that Mingw-w64 alone is useless, you need to configure your toolchain to use it. MSYS2 provides toolchains ready to use. Plus, requirements such as libwinpthreads, which are also maintained by Mingw-w64, might have their own requirements (AFAIK nothing changed yet.) > I'm asking because I want to update our documentation with this > information, to avoid other users being surprised by these subtle > issues. I would say that for using an MSYS2-based build of Emacs you need Windows 8.1 at the least. A more future-proof statement is to recommend looking up that information on the MSYS2 web page.
