Windows 10 prerequisite for 7.2.0? (so abandon Windows 7 and avoid Windows 8)

[Marc Roos]

Without knowing to much about the differences between developing for 
windows7 and windows10. I would always suggest an approach where you do 
not enforce anything that is outside of your core business as an office 
application suite. Eg. as in what OS someone is using.
