 * The CMake projects require 3.21 or later.
 
 * Starting with the March 2025 release, Windows 7 and Windows 8.0 support has been retired. For _DirectX ToolKit for Audio_ this means that `DirectXTKAudio_Desktop_*_Win7` has been removed, and `DirectXTKAudio_Desktop_*_Win8` has been integrated into the `DirectXTK_Desktop_*` vcxproj which uses XAudio 2.8 for Windows 8.1 compatibility.
