Description
Hi, the title is self explanatory; the latest v0.0.29 requires Rust v1.79, which does not offer support for Win 7, but there is a separate target that is tier 3.
Cheers

Research direction
Start by reviewing how the v0.0.29 release selects its Rust toolchain and Windows targets, then compare that with the separate tier 3 target mentioned in the issue. Done means the project supports building and running on Windows 7 without requiring Rust 1.79, with the compatibility approach documented and verified.
