Blender 3.0 on Windows 7

  1. Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft. And hasn’t been for 2 years. Staying on a OS that doesn’t receive updates is a giant security risk.

  2. Trying to continue to support the api calls of win 7 within blender; creates a ton of coding overhead and work arounds.
