Hi, thanks for maintaining Rust and the toolchain!

I noticed that the last version of Rust that still runs on Windows 7 is 1.77.2. Later versions seem to have issues or crash due to Windows 7 being officially unsupported.

I'm wondering: is there any plan or possibility to reintroduce Windows 7 support in future versions?

I understand that Microsoft has ended support for Windows 7, but some legacy systems still rely on it.

Any clarification would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
