## Operating system support
66+
67+
The x64 kit requires Windows 7 or later, though some tools only support
68+
Unicode ("wide") paths, inputs, and outputs on Windows 10 or later. The
69+
toolchain targets Windows 7 by default.
70+
71+
The x86 kit requires Windows XP or later and an SSE2-capable processor
72+
(e.g. at least Pentium 4); limited Unicode support. The toolchain targets
73+
the same by default. Runtimes contain SSE2 instructions, so GCC `-march`
74+
will not reliably target less capable processors when runtimes are linked
75+
(exceptions: `-lmemory`, `-lchkstk`).
