Qt 6.2 supported Windows versions
-
Hi all,
This Qt doc states that the minimum Windows version supported by Qt 6.2 is 1809 which correlates to build 17763.
Now, we have quite a few customers who run earlier versions of Windows Server in particular. There are quite a few versions that haven't reached end of support yet, see here.
My questions are:
- Is the 1809 minimum requirement true for Windows Server, too?
- What exactly makes Qt 6.2 require version 1809 minimum?
- Do different Qt modules have different requirements? Is there a per-module list of minimum requirements? Would our Qt 6.2 application run on older platforms if critical modules are not used?
- Are all potential issues caught at link time, or could they happen only later when the application is run (think of subtle API incompatibilities)?
- Anything else to think of?
Thanks for your help.

@ribberlin2 It would be better to ask these questions on Qt developers mailing list as this is user forum.
