Description
Content: I have successfully built
beats for Windows 7 using a modified Go 1.25 toolchain that restores the missing syscalls in legacy Windows. This allows Win7 users to enjoy the latest
beats features without being stuck on Go 1.20.
I'm maintaining the binaries and the source for this bridge here: https://github.com/slok2024/beats/releases/tag/20260125
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names no Beats files, tests, or entry points; it only links to an external release containing modified Go 1.25 toolchain builds. Start by reviewing that release and the repository's existing Windows support and build configuration. Done is not defined, so the scope and acceptance criteria need clarification before work begins.
