Documentation

Our (main branch using-python-on-windows docs)

Currently states "This means that Python 3.12 supports Windows 8.1 and newer. If you require Windows 7 support, please install Python 3.8."

I believe this is just a leftover claim from 3.11 given what we say in https://peps.python.org/pep-0011/#microsoft-windows and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-81 as the Microsoft Extended Support end date is January 2023, 9 months before 3.12 will be released.

We probably want that to say "3.12 supports Windows 10 and newer. If you require Windows 8.1 support, please install Python 3.11" ?

Clarification from the Windows folks would be good here.
