MSDN: Minimum supported client: Windows 8

Windows 7 is no longer supported; as seen in the Support Table the minimum windows version is 8.1.

Try this:

zig/lib/libc/include/any-windows-any/_mingw.h

Lines 232 to 234 in d7f00c4

	#ifndef _WIN32_WINNT
	#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0603
	#endif

Replace 0x0603 with 0x0601, then rebuild Zig.
In addition, check out https://reviews.llvm.org/D104987, which ensures that we always use the highest precision available.

Even without explicit support, non invasive patches to widen support are welcome. They won't be tested by the CI though and will be maintained on best effort, but without mandatory testing.

The support table link seems to be broken; I believe this is what it's referring to:
https://ziglang.org/download/0.8.1/release-notes.html#Support-Table

After some cursory investigation, 0.5.0 seems to be the last major version that supports windows 7:

I get "GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime not found" too, but for pure NodeJS. There is other way, when recompilling is long or not possible... VxKex (windows 7 extended kernel to 8+).

P. S.: Only for advanced users.
