Pull request description:

  Follows up to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31048#discussion_r1803165670.

  Note that #30997 is also increasing the minimum required Windows version (for the GUI) to 10.

Bitcoin Core is supported and tested on operating systems using the
Linux Kernel 3.17+, macOS 13.0+, and Windows 10 and newer. Bitcoin
Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as
frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on
unsupported systems.
