Thiago, it's a valid argument. However, we still with 15-20% Windows deployment on Win-7, and it's still supported. My knowledge is that some governments are pressing Microsoft to prolong it even more. Let's say Win-7 with MSVC-2019 without UWP seen as compatible at the page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2019/compatibility How do you access the scale of the efforts for doing it? Is it mainly style or there are more areas? Thanks.
