Well I tried to install Visual Studio 2022 Builtools on Windows 
10 the other day.

It wasn't too happy with me, cause my version of Windows 10 is 
the Anniversary update (1607). In essence, it told me VS2022 
wasn't build for this edition, and that I'd pretty much be on my 
own if any issues arise.

So these days, it's more likely MS will drop support for your 
o/s, long before D drops support for it ;-)

I also tried D on Windows XP 64bit the other day, and was 
surprised that dmd.exe no longer even executes on that platform 
:-(
