I'm not sure about vista anymore, do we have old enough windows machine to check?

Nope. But Windows Vista support is at this point in time completely irrelevant anyway.

According to the latest Steam Survey (https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam)

Win 11: 70.97%
Win 10: 22.90%
Win 7: 0.06%

And statcounter (https://gs.statcounter.com/os-version-market-share/windows/desktop/worldwide) shows:

Win 11: 68.6%
Win 10: 30.14%
Win 7: 0.96%
Win 8.x: 0.14%
WinXp(!): 0.14%

Vista is not mentioned in either of them.

I think we've only tested recent versions with Win 10. We could check with our community of Steam developers what kind of stats they see for their games. Do they have Win 7 players for instance? If they do, then we know Win 7 still works....

I can leave it as is until we check? or what's you suggestion here?

We can leave it as-is until someone let's us know it doesn't work. BUT since no one is using Vista anymore we'll likely never know.

So I suppose my suggestion is to write something that we do indeed know, and that would maybe be Win 7, if we ask for instance 8BitSkull if they have Win 7 players for Skull Horde.
