      There is still some Windows XP and higher - checking in the OpenJDk coding, see

      We compile currently with Windows 8+ settings :

      # _WIN32_WINNT=0x0602 means access APIs for Windows 8 and above. See
      # https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/porting/modifying-winver-and-win32-winnt?view=msvc-170
      ALWAYS_DEFINES="-DWIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0602 \

      So everything handling older versions than Windows 8 could most likely be removed.
