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.

Kind regards,
